Which model ATL and what capacity do you have?

Its the saver cell series(try saying that 3 times fast). I don't know why they call it that, because its really pretty expensive,at least the EFI version is. http://www.atlinc.com/saver-cell-series.html The space limitations forced me to run a 26 gallon cell, only because its the only cell that would fit in that space ( taller then it is wide). I do like it uses a capacitance type fuel level gauge like they use in the newer boats, maybe I'll have a gas gauge that works right for once, and man is it setup for cross country cruising with the 26 gallon capacity.LOL

SA126B 28.90 x 13.95 x 17.00

Obviously the 13.95" width is the magic number.......and very limiting. :(

I spent quite a while looking at cell sizes this morning and his 14" width kills his options unless you go 10, 8, or 5 gallon.

Well how much was that tank? I had a custom one made in a really strange shape for like $800.

26 gal is a must for a driver. The tank will also double as an aerodynamic modifying piece.
Awesome work Ron.

I was looking at the car more. I think once you put the windshield back in it will take a bit from that long nose. I think you could do a laid back spoiler to add on the quarters and trunk. I was gonna draw something on it but I couldn't save it for some reason.

If I remember right the cell was like $1300 with the fuel pump, fuel gauge , and aluminum can. That pump is like $500 on its own though. I was going to get a blank ABS cell, lay it on its side, build a can, make all the pump parts internally in the tank, but I have to admit I'm just tired. It was way easier ordering one.
