Spectra Fuel Tanks....

[trapin]

Alright....about a few months ago I heard a rumor that there was a company called Spectra that builds aftermarket fuel tanks with built-in fuel pumps specifically for LSX conversions into classic cars for around $600-$700 a pop.

What I want to know is; how do I contact them? Anyone have a website URL? Anyone have one of these tanks? And lastly...is there any truth to all this?

Thank you gentlemen.

yes....

look up your vehicle type/year/model, then under fuel tank EFI..the one they have listed will be a Spectre unit

You people are beautiful.

Have I ever told you that?

[MuscleRodz]

Tony, Spectra does not sell direct. We sell their tanks $595 plus shipping. I have sold quite a few of them, very nice piece. If not minitubbing, it is the only EFI tank I would use or recommend.

[trapin]

Mike...what part number do you have for that tank? Is it GM32AFI?

[MuscleRodz]

yes that number is correct and have several at our suppliers wharehouse ready to ship.

What kind of baffling and/or anti-fuel starvation systems do these tanks have?

[Damn True]

It's just a metal tank right....not a cell?

According to Phil at BRP.....

"This is a stock style tank with a factory look built to EFI spec with use of the factory gas cap and filler neck. This is not a modified tank and comes EFI from the manufacturing facility. The tank comes with baffling and sump to stop fuel slosh and prepped for the EFI and features an in tank electric fuel pump that produces 85-115 PSI at 50-60 gallons per hour. This is the perfect tank for a LS conversion and keeps the original look of the factory tank. The fuel tank is designed to work off any 12 volt system, with a sending unit is designed for any factory applications."

I would still call Spectra to verify this information.

Frank Serafine first told me about these tanks. I'm surprised they're not gettin' more buzz on here what with all the other aftermarket tanks starting at over a grand.

Hmm.. maybe I should run this on the Track Rat project.. to help keep costs down.

[MuscleRodz]

Tanks are not baffled. They have a well in them just like new OE tanks do so the pump ALWAYS stays submerged even with low fuel levels. No starvation issues either. I have pics of the well on one of my computers somewhere. I have sold quite a few of them, no complaints.

Maybe something can be arranged.........

[Rick Dorion]

Hmmm. I suppose I could use one with a regulator for now in a carb application?

I would not recommend it. Very good chance of burning up the pump depending on the regulator used. I would stick with a stock tank until ready for efi conversion. Plus stock tanks are cheap. Spectra has those too.

Do they make anything for min itubbed camaros?

Not that I saw.

Phil also lists one tank number for 70-81, but that cannot be correct. 70-73, 74-77, 78-81 are different tanks/necks. Spectra only lists 70-73 IIRC

There are two 70-73 tanks, one with emmissions, one without, and they only go to 73 for efi tanks
