Fuel control similar to your daily driver tank. Fuel starvation is no bueno with fuel injection.

The vaporworx tank has 2 pickups. One on each side of the tank. Basically it has all of the internals of a 2010 camaro tank. If your running a modern motor then get a modern tank.

Sure you can buy cheaper tank with a single pickup and save some cash. But if you plan on auto crossing or doing other hard driving then I would get the vaporworx. It is only a 400$ difference compared to a regular ricks tank. It will run way better when your low on fuel.

Oh and Did I mention that with the Vaporworx tank you don't need to run a return fuel line? Yeah thats worth some time and money .

I ordered my Vaporworx stuff direct from Carl and had it sent to my fabricator who, using my specs, designed and built a custom stainless tank from 14 ga. stainless for less than the cost of a standard Rick's Tank. They were awesome to work with and gave me exactly what I needed. The cost for me to have a custom tank built by Rick's, with Vaporworx, would have been more than the $1600 mentioned, I saved $200-$300 off the $1600. PM me and I can give you the contact details and send you pics of my completed tank. Also, see my build thread for pics, link in sig.

Very cool.

There is also a new Aeromotive stamped tank coming out soon that sounds promising for those on a budget.

I also built my own tank using parts and information supplied by Vaporworx. Did I save money yes. Does mine look as good as Ricks, NO. Don't get me wrong, ours turned out very good and is custom built for our application. However, it is a TON of work. I never expected it to be nicer than Ricks. I have built 1, they have built........well think of the McDonalds served sign. We did ours to save some money sure, but we also did it because I love to learn and I thought this was one project I needed to tackle. After having built one myself, I would not turn my nose up at the cost from Ricks. You would not be disappointed. Oh, and you are not comparing apples to apples with the other tanks mentioned. The technology in the Vaporworks system matches the needs of today's fuel injected engines and the driving style we all admire on this site. Fuel control is king and this system is the best out there. Good luck with your project! :thumbsup:

Technically I think that the VaporWorx tank has 3 pickupes - one in each corner of the tank and (IIRC) one on the bottom of the fuel pump module.

A couple of other considerations with the VaporWork tank (some of which have been mentioned):

- No return line needed (an easy $50-$100 savings)
- No regulator needed (again, an easy $50-$100 savings)
- A cheaper and more reliable fuel level sender
- You don't have to buy a new pump - if you can find a wreck you have an option to source it yourself
- There is (IMHO) a fuel economy savings (not that many of us care). The VaporWork system uses a self adjusting pressure regulator (as do many of the new cars) which taylors the fuel pressure to the engine load. While it may not be a significant consideration, this does lead to a more efficient use of fuel. I personally (individual results may vary) found that I was getting better mileage on the highway with the VaporWorx tank. I also found that my plugs looked better. My mileage on the track still sucks.
- A Rick's tank (VaporWorx or otherwise) does have an increased cost over other alternatives but if you are minitubbing the car and/or need additional exhaust clearance it's the best way to go unless you have the skills to build or modify a tank yourself.
- A VaporWorx pump does have a cost premium over a drop in style pump (up to a certain point - it's certainly more expensive than a wabro pump but its on par with a Kinsler/Bosch setup) but the 5th gen fuel module (et al) is bulletproof. It was designed to be a long life peice, it was designed to maximize efficiency and solve a host of fuel issues, and it is an OEM design - and it's dead quiet.

And as a couple of posters have mentioned, you can (of you have the skill) retrofit the VaporWorx setup in to any tank or cell that you have. I just bought a non-VaporWorx Ricks tank locally and will retrofit it when I have a chance.

Just my two bits.

In short, I've spoken to Carl about a VapoWorx tank and I'm getting one for my custom frame. With all the added benefits I will be receiving, I don't care what it cost.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: I'm just waiting on my frame to be done with the narrowed frame rails so I'll know the dimensions. And yes, Carl is a class-act. He explained everything to me thoroughly where I can understand. He even gave me a follow up call. Now that's customer service.

Did you have more info on this?

Thanks! not sure how I missed it.
