Hello All-

I am converting a 83 300d and don't know what to do about the tank. I want to go with a metal tank, hopefully one without any baffles that I can add a stainless steel appliance gas hose heating element to. I have done some research here and can't find much info. One post mentioned a tank from summit racing and another said the grease car tank was very expensive. Does any one have any ideas for me?

Thanks,

Bill

I bought an 84 300D yesterday and have been doing my homework. These should both work for you and are deep enough for a Hot Fox.

Thanks for the link and congrats on your new ride. I also scored my car yesterday. It has 150k and complete service records. I was really lucky, it is a wonderful car.

I like the tank, it is smaller and cheaper than the ones available at summit. I am hoping to mount the tank on the passenger side half into the wheel well. I am hoping to have access to the spare tire. What do you think?

As for mounting points if the holes don't match I can have someone weld some on.

Having owned it for only a day I haven't had the chance to see how it will mount. I'm thinking of making two cardboard mockups, one for each tank size. That way I can fool around and see where everything should go. I too will want access to the spare.

28ish gallons. Baffles, Alimunun coolant coiled tube internal with NPT ports. NPT Ports for fuel pick-up/return, drain, vent, site tube, fuel level sender and electric or other heater.

Cost $300. This welder has made 1/2 dozen for MBs, VWs and Trucks. SEnd me a message and I can send you the drawings deminsions

Thanks for all the input!! I just bought the 13 gal marine tank. It is not baffled so I can put a stainless steel appliance hose heater element into it. I checked the layout on the passenger side of the car and it looked good, real good. Then I took the car for a ride, awesome. Can't wait to be running on veg. Thanks again-

Bill

Thats awesome news. I'll be ordering my components soon and since you're my guinea pig with this tank please let me know how your mounting worked out...exactly.

How about replace the rear seat cushion with a tank/seat?
