Fuel Tank question

Postby cat007 » Mon Mar 16, 2009 2:24 pm

Hey all

I'm wanting to get a fuel tank that isn't so "tall" so it doesn't hang so low down. Does any body know of any that take an in-tank fuel pump but are really quite short?

Cheers

Its for my MK3 Supra

I'm wanting to make a decent rear under-tray but the fuel tank sits too low down for me to get a nice smooth even angle.....

Well if I cant do a diffuser I'd really want to stop the air getting trapped behind the bumper - there's a massive gap there
