Gas Tank help for minitubbed 69 Camaro

[lowfat69]

Looking for advice on what gas tank to run in my 69 Camaro which has been minitubbed to the rail (hasn't been cut like the deep DSE tubs require). I'll be running leaf springs and I've got the DSE offset shackles, exhaust is a 2.5" magnaflow system. Was looking at getting a Tanks Inc notched tank but the product details on their website state "Please note that this tank will not work with narrowed leaf spring kits". Anyone know of a tank that will work or has used this tank with leaf springs and minitubs?

Boy - that sounds like a lot of gray area to me. Seems like you are just going to need to measure it carefully and get a tank that fits within the allocated space based on your set-up since it's pretty much custom.

Do you have a stock tank? The Tanks Inc ones are not narrowed. So if your stock one won't fit, neither will Tanks.
It only fits minitub applications due to exhaust routing & clearance between the tire and tank. Has nothing to do with the suspension, hence the notes you saw.

It's my understanding you'll need a new stainless tank, from Rock Valley or Ricks Tanks, when going with the narrowed leafs.

Thanks for the reply guys, the car is apart at the moment at another location so I'm not sure how it all fits together, was trying to plan in advance for when it comes back from paint. I'm in Australia so any stuff ups will work out expensive. I'll have a look at what Rick's have on offer.

Have ricks custom make you a tank, you’ll be glad you did
