Aluminium Fuel Tank 38 Litres for Racing and Drifting

This aluminium fuel tank is a safety tank of approximately 38 litres for motorsport. It is made of TIG-welded aluminium and replaces the original tank in cars used for drifting, time attack, rally and quarter-mile sprints. With 38 litres you have enough fuel for the usual motorsport disciplines.

A separate aluminium tank gives you the freedom to put the fuel in a smart spot in the car, for example in the boot. Combine it with a swirl pot (available separately) and external fuel pumps, and the supply stays up to level even under the highest loads.

Installation and delivery

Place the tank on a flat, sturdy spot in the car and bolt it down through the 10 mm holes in the mounting feet, preferably with washers and lock nuts or on a dedicated frame. Connect the 8 mm connections with fuel-resistant hose and good clamps or fittings. If you also want to be sure of fuel in long corners, fit a swirl pot between the tank and the engine, with an external pump before and after it.

An aluminium fuel tank is light and does not rust, but pay attention to contact with other metals during installation. Place rubber or plastic strips between the tank and a steel frame, so that no chafe marks or contact corrosion occur. That way the tank stays intact for years.

If you cannot work out the connections, a connection diagram is available on request. Always check the regulations of your class for positioning, venting and a firewall between the tank and the cockpit.
