Ease of installation you mentioned.Rick's. Best for hardcore duty... Fuel Safe, but Fuel Safe are not bolt ins.

Either Ricks or Fuel Safe, we have them both on special

The Fuel Safe is a Fuel Cell, and we can put internal pumps in them. Badd penny is the most famous car that has one.

As for installation, they are generic, the Ricks will go right where the factory tank was.

Fuel SAFE has safe in the name for a reason, A internal bladder adds a second level of fuel containment should the worst happen and you back into the wall at a buck twenty

fuel cell
 
Not to steal thread,but Frank do you think fuel safe could make something for the first gen f-body guys similiar to what they do for the Mustang folks?

That is what I used from Rock Auto. Almost done with LQ9 (6.0L swap) with a Mangacharger. Drove the car around the block.....will drive it harder this weekend. Everything works so far, but need more driving experience in the car. Bolts right in factory location.

67bird - fuel safe will make any tank, any size, any shape. you supply the drawing and they will build it. but that also means that the bladder has to be custom shape as well. plus, according to their site and the few techs i talked to, they recommend changing the bladder and foam because fuel will break it down. IIRC, something like every 7 years though, so not too bad.

the killer for me was my fuel fill since its on top of the cells. there wasnt a good way to make it work without ruining the trunk. once hector convinced me that his new design tanks work well, i just went that route.

Ive used Rick's Tanks in several projects; the thing I like about that company is the customer service and the fact that each tank can be custom ordered with whatever baffling, punp config, or sender suits you best... not to mention the beautiful brushed SS finish. Ive never been dissapointed with their products. and in an age when customer service is usually a distant memory, they still treat their customers with respect and do what they say they're going to do.

JMHO.
