In car alloy fuel tanks

[novalovingned]

How will it affect the handling having a 4 gallon fuel tank in the boot?

Good points and bad points appreciated.

Anyone have any pics of there in car fuel tanks and some info on them in general?

good points: looks cool

Bad points: no space for a spare, you can only go 120miles between refills, filling the tank will make the interior smell of petrol, if it is an injection, then it will be very noisy, the extra weight higher up & behind the rear wheels might affect the handling

DO NOT be tempted to buy a cheap one that hasnt got a roll over valve fitted!!

No need for a spare mate, weighs to much. 120 miles or there about for refills wont bother me as its in theory a track car. Smell...... meh i like the smell of v-power ;) running carbs so noise wont be an issue.

Only thing thats a concern is the handling?

Cheers Mike, never realised there were such things as a roll over valve :thumb:


Anyone have any installed pictures?

Made by Pro-Alloy.
Not cheap but worth spending the extra in my eyes.
