      Rick's tank or DSE tank or ?

      I'm in the process of buying a new gas tank for my fuel injected '67 Camaro. So, which one should I get, the Rick's tank, DSE tank or something else? I think Rick's tank holds 16 gallons, whereas DSE holds 19 gallons and is made for tubbed rears, which I don't have. Anyone has any input or ideas which one I should buy and why? Thanks for your input.

      The best option really depends on what your HP goals are, what engine you have, and of course budget.
      The DSE tank is resonably priced, but Rick's will build any tank you want.

      I got a Rick's Tank from Prodigy's GP Superstore. Frank ordered the tank and it was delivered ahead of schedule. And man is it nice!!!

      Call Frank- he'll hook you up.

      Damn I should have called you before I ordered mine.

      Mine is a custom deal though.

      Hey Frank, is the Prodigy's GP price for a Rick's Tank the same if it's custom or stock for a '67 Camaro? I would like a larger tank, 19 gallons, but I think the standard Rick's tank holds 16 gallons. Also the tank has to fit in stock location.

      Ricks tanks are nicer than the Rock Valley tanks. I had a Rock Valley unit in my '69 and the way they weld it leaves marks on the bottom of the tank. I've seen Ricks tanks and they do it different to eliminate these marks.

      Other than that they are almost the same and are of high quality. I imagine they function almost the same.

      Now if we could get DSE to carry Ricks tanks.. lol..

      Yes, you can get a GP price at GP Store. I think we sell as many Rick's tanks as anyone. And I am sure we can add volume, it might just show a bit more. But you will be amazed what a inch here and a inch there will do for volume.

      well, I just got off the phone with Lisa and ordered a Rick's mini tubbed tank, in case I decide to mini tub my Camaro in the future. Thank you everyone for your input and big thanks to Lisa and Frank for the GP on Rick's tank.
