Turbo Mini Forums

Want to change to an aluminium fuel tank but havent found anything that suitable, any one have any advise or contacts?

Cheers Jake

Mine:


If your interested in something like that, ill pm you the no of the guy that made it

Nic 3 questions. Is that bolted down any other way than that strap? and do you run coilovers? I'm looking to mod my turrets and yours look ideal! and finally, could you PM me the number too please? :)

Cheers.

Lightweight racer coming soon.

No, theres just a seat belt running over it and some squashy foam straps on the bottom

Theres a hole in the boot floor for a sump, but it could made without that

It can also be made with a funnel so you can use it with a hose and fit a neck so the std hole can be used

Actually this is the place that made it, there is his number on the site

Theres rear coilover on there, I made some boxes and fitted them in. I left the original top mounts, cut the original damper bit out, but leaving enough to fold to weld to the box

alumacraft did mine, with a sender etc....look them up, gave them a drawing and they baffled it etc for around 180 quid, its not a small tank either!

I have seen aftermarket fuel gauge and sender setups but anybody used the standard ones in an alu. tank?
Turrets are proper cool Nic, i need to have a go at that, offset gaz dampers still foul :(
IS that a fibreglass boot?

Better late than never.
