Rick's Hot Rod Shop stainless tank - Lateral-g Forums

**XcYZ** · #1 07-15-2005, 05:28 PM

The stainless tank that I ordered from Rick's Hot Rod Shop arrived today. It's narrowed for the mini-tubs, has integrated sump and baffling for EFI, has a -10 pick up and -8 return, a GM 90 ohm sending unit, and is slightly deeper to make up for being narrowed. It should be right at 16 gallons.

It looks fantastic, the craftsmanship is first rate.

Thanks again to all the guys at Rick's.

Vents suck.. run a vented cap..

Well at least mine did.. nothing but trouble till I capped it off and swapped the cap.

I need to contact Ricks about Penny.. she needs a REAL gas tank..

Looks awesome...sucks that it has to get put under the car...sometimes you want to display even the gas tanks!!

There are threaded bunges on either side of the sending unit that are for hooking as a vent.

Just a quick NOTE about our vents... Unlike other tanks with vents our vent provisions are different. The bung extends down aobut 2.5" into the tank they will accept a roll over check valve, and have a piece of 5/16 tube welded to it that goes to the highest part of the tank. This in effect greatly minimises the amount of fuel that can possibly exit and also cuts down on fumes.

i saw the tape next to the sender.... wasnt sure if they were vents or not, since they would greatly lower the fuel level...but the bent tubes/check valves make sence.... i get it now. thanks

I just got my tank also. Awesome craftmanship.

Those guys do great work and pretty friendly and helpful. It took about 30 minutes to install because I have to find some damn wire connectors. I attached a hose to my vent for a charcoal canister down the road. The car started with no problems. I am happy customer. Best money spent so far!!!

It's a work of art. Very nice. Is that the OE 69 filler location? It looks high--like a 67/68.
