Rick's Tank, Fuel Cell or?
 
I'm putting together a 406 w/ EFi

What's the best solution for ease of install and setup, balanced w/ cost?
is a fuel cell fine, or just buy a Rick's / Rock Valley and be done with it?
anyone that's done either or both chime in...thanks:cool:

I have a ricks tank for my ls swap. Let me say...you get what you pay for:unibrow:

The quality is superb and it was around a 2 week wait time. Install is simple...nothing a person with a tool set can't do.

here's a picture of mine:

I'd go with the Rick's tank, I've seen a lot of cars using them in the forum, and, well, they're a lot more discrete than a fuel cell, and unless you're going to just race it, well, the tank is more for street use and show. more pleasant to the eye. So, your choice, personally I don't like fuel cells.
GIMME FUEL GIMME FIRE GIMME THAT WHICH I DESIRE! UUH!

I recently found out about these SPECTRA fuel tanks (in tank EFI pumps) - musclerodz.com & www.rockauto.com sell them - I don't have one but I'm looking into them - there is some talk about them at PT.com

I hate to be that guy, but until you've run your setup it's hard to recommend it. Sure it looks great, but does it function the way you hoped?

I think a lot of the decision making has to be based on what you are going to do with the car. If it is a cruiser and a little spirited driving then the Ricks will work great. If you plan on some hard use such as going to one of the events such as RTTH's, the I would go with a fuel cell or something custom built and baffled for that application.

ricks is now building with internal sumps, baffles and check balls. these should be way better than his older style tanks. still wont compete with a surge tank and 2 pumps, but should be enough for anything but an all out racer. mine should be here this week!!!

That is good to hear and I would not mind seeing the differences they put into them.
