Gas Tank 67 Nova
 

I am in the middle of re inventing my 1967 Chevy Nova and I am in need of ideas for a gas tank. I am looking for something that would move the filler tube inside the trunk compartment. I am mini-tubbing the car and will be removing the filler tube in the rear quarter. The mini-tub is only going as far as the stock frame rails so the old tank would still fit but the filler tube won't. Any of you out there building 66,67 novas have any ideas.

Thanks. :D

Are you looking for an existing tank or a custom made one?

Either one. What ever will work. I not against a little fabricating, just looking for some ideas of what other nova guys have done. Seems to me the gas cap in the rear quarter is always the first thing to go.

Are you going to install a secondary vent in the tank?

Have tom build you an aluminum tank! I will be making an aluminum tank to try to get it a little larger. Beat runs get about 2 gallons to the mile these days!

Most likely. I have a down a dirty carburetor setup and don't need it now. Down the road I might go fuel injection and would like to have the tank all set up for it.

The thought has entered my mind, just don't know if the pocket book will support it. That is why I was looking for something off the shelf that I could modify.

Unfortunatly I don't think you will find anything cheap enough to justify. But, either Tom or myself could relocate you filler tube for you with a factory style gas cap into the back of the trunk just next to the trunk latch if that is what you want.

I have a 1st gen and I am also mini-tubbing it. I am going to run the stock tank more than likely but I am going to put the filler tube just behind the driver side tub. This way the stock outlet of the tank can be used and it will be easy to make the turn up towards the trunk instead of straight to the fender. This of course is all in my head and ideas always seem good there but in reality don't always work out to be so easy.

Old Skool..... in the trunk... $225 from Triangle Engineering. This sits on the frame rails of a 4 link set up but can be mated to a fabricated cross brace in the trunk floor for stock applications.
