Any Interest in 23 Gallon Stainless Tanks?

[rjp1965]

I looked at tank options and with the help of a member on this forum decided that stainless steel would be the optimum type of tank. Since I hadn't seen any at the vendors I was familiar with, we decided to just fabricate one for my frame off project.

My tig welder asked me if I thought others might be interested in them so I told him I would post this to find out. I'm not completely certain, but I would imagine the price would be somewhere around $500.

Again, I am just gauging interest and not taking orders. If you think it's something that you would be interested in I would appreciate your response.

Thanks

Got mine already, but it's a 25 gal.

Nice one. Did you build it or buy it?

LOL. Silly question on my part. I just noticed your post signature and clicked on the link. I'm guessing you definitely built it.

Hey Revelation, that's really nice!!;D Are you going to run a body lift with the that tank? Also might you have some measurements and specs that you could send me so I could make one?

Thanks Jeff

Yes I made it, it is run with a 1" BL,
Jeff I will see what I have for you.

I like that tank. wish you had made it 3 yrs ago. I would have went that route. I made a Polished stainless skid plate. I hadn't thought of making the tank to.

I would be interested.
need to fit up against the body with a 3" body lift, not hand down to reduce clearance.EFi in tank pump, baffles...

Awesome tank, I too would be interested. What part of the country are located in? If the shipping didn't bring the price to high it would be sweet. I'd need one with it built for a 2" BL.

Here is mine... http://classicbroncos.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=168255&d=1273597989

It mounts like the stock tank with two straps. It went up with the body when I added a lift.

Hey Rev, that would be great because I'm planning a 1" BL when I do my 5.0 EFI swap. Also I might add some baffles to your design if you don't already have any. What sending unit are you using?
Thanks Jeff

Don't want to take any business away, but a local vendor here in Oregon has been selling Stainless tanks for several years now.

I am going to mount mine with straps also. I considered a bracket set up similar to what BC is doing, but for my purposes I prefer the straps.

These are some progress pictures. It's the first one we have built, and is for the first Bronco I have done so I'm sure there are potential improvements. I'm open to suggestions.

I have chosen to polish my tank and straps and to build a stainless skid plate which I will also polish.

After looking at the price of the vendor SS tank I'm afraid to even ask. PLus I need to buy my EFI stuff first. Those SS tanks sure are pretty.

I decided to fabricate stainless straps and a cross bar that bolts into the same frame holes as the original tank plates.

I'd be interested in seeing alternative and possibly better mounting methods.
