Now I've butchered the bodywork on my car to fit the de-dion, the original tank is too big.
I could cut down the old tank but its a pressed steel thing off an old car so not ideal, or I cam make a new one. But, before I start making one or rebuilding the car, has anyone got anything suitable. Dimensions can be tweaked to suit as I start the rebuild so if you give me your dimesions, I can see if its doable. Aiming for 20-30ltrs.
Cheers, Owelly.

Typically, it's going to be very tight! The sump is in the wrong place and do is the filler. However, I only have rough measurements to hand so I'll get the covers of the car tomorrow and have a better look.
Cheers.
