Replacement fuel tank/cell
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi there, ive lowered my metro quite abit as some may know but the lowest point on the car at the back is the petrol tank OH OH!

ive been scouting about for a CHEAP fuel cell or even a tank that is square/round that i could make fit.

Ive now started to think of alternatives such as plastic petrol cans just big ones, the car will be used for weekend fun so a average sized tank will do (std mini size is fine)

I just cant think of anything that i can use? so what has everyone used, or what could i use?

I will be chopping out my spare wheel well and plating it with alloy so anything can go on it really.

Thanks

use a mini tank? may look abit gash but will do the trick

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

something in the spare wheel well would be good.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

take a look at advantage998's build thread. there is a link in there (might be an item number) to an ebay seller or alloy feul cells.

This is the one i brought: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ARP-Motorsport-Alumi...%3A1|240%3A1318

Really good quality tank and they always seem to go for the start price.

Thanks guys, sorry for the late reply ive been a tad busy.

I want a alloy tank really i would use a mini one but its the gashness i dont want, ive got everything perfect on the car just want a decent tank cheaply.

I dont have a spare wheel well either i chopped it out and replaced it with alloy sheet

Thanks for the link advantage

i doubt this will be practical or even legal but what about an outboard fuel tank off a boat, like so:

Thanks joey.
