Gas Tank 67 Nova - Lateral-g Forums

DocDave · #1 12-04-2006, 07:57 PM

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.

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!

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.

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.
