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! |

The tank looks like it sits only a few inches (if that) above the headers.

QUOTE(jd74914 @ Dec 12 2007, 07:37 PM)  The tank looks like it sits only a few inches (if that) above the headers. While the stock tank in a /6 is not subject to heat per se, it is in a closed location with minimal airflow. Secondly, on a stock /6 the hard line from the engine to the hole in the drivers' engine shelf runs between the HEs, cylinders and head exhaust pipes .... the line is made of metal. Further, I believe there is sufficient airflow so as not to cause a significant increase in oil temp. The oil is pretty well constantly moving (in the scavenge line too). My opinion and mine only. |
