Alloy fuel tanks
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi people

Just planing my project at the min and working out what to do for a fuel tank. I know i can use a SPI/MPI tank's but was thinking about getting a after market tank (alloy fuel tank) So just like to know what you people of turbo minis have as a set up, I.e pumps, swirl pot's, filters that sorta thing and also how you have mounted the tank to the boot floor. if you have pic's as well i could see that would be great too. I will need some think that be OK for a road car with a half decent size tank. Any info and ideas is a help thanks.

I think for a road car the neatest and easiest option is the mpi tank (and it needs to be the MPI one as the SPI dosent have enough fuel pressure) any thing else is going to eat into the boot space.

if you do go for an alloy tank somthing that fots in the spare wheel space is probably best, pump wise most injecton cars use a pump similar to the metro tubro one, generally swirl pots arn't needed as mini fuel tanks are tall so don't suffer from "slosh"

I would advise against alloy tank for a road car. I mean whats the point? it just costs money, and finding one with a guage sender is difficult

You dont relly need a swirl pot on a carb'd car either. Let alone mini with its 'tall' tank

lol okies thanks, Boot space i don't care about any ways never use the mini to go shopping i use the van of the focus, one reason i was thinking of a alloy tank is because i like shiny things i also will be doing the odd track day and strip as well.

alright mate i have a 7 gallon alloy tank never used it round and fits in the hole for the spare wheel. Got it from tweeks for a project but never started it. Let us know if your interested.
