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! |

Since my car is not a "real" six I have no problems deviating from stock.
My oil tank (Peterson $379) will go where the battery usually sits...oil lines go up passenger side. Tank height/proximity to engine...all good. My battery will move to where the fuel tank originally resides... and My fuel tank will move to the front trunk....(just like the degreeoff resto... see link) http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...72941&st=20 This configuration will keep the weight on the passenger side and help balance the front/rear bias. The front trunk will still be useable (albeit with a little less room) but, I'm not going on any extended trips with my 914 and it's not a daily driver.... so it doesn't matter anyways. |
