So I have this 2.7 that I need to see if it starts. IF it does start, I need to start thinking about the oil tank. The one in there is a 911 tank and it's cut into the trunk, which won't do. I have heard of others putting the tank in the front trunk. I have also seen repo oil tanks, but those are $$$.
Anyone have hints or tips for this. I am just trying to get an idea of what I am looking at. Thanks! |

I honestly reckon it's just best to buy a repro or factory tank. End of story.
I swore i would never pay the price for a piece of pressed metal and bought a Peterson tank for the front. Then I actually started measuring up and deciding where to cut... In the end I realized the simplest way was to stump up for a proper tank. I don't think I would've been happy with anything else and I'm glad I realized before I started cutting my tub. factor in the lines, filter etc and it's probably cheaper in the long run. John has made a very nice job of fitting front oil tanks but it's not for me. |
