In the greatest spirit of being low-cost, i'm after some type of OE injection fuel tank to fit in the space I have which is basically a
trapezoidal void 550mm square and tapering from 100mm to 150mm deep (ish) - maybe able to go a bit deeper though and possibly a few mm bigger in width
or length but not much.
Original tank is a rather snug fit and huge at 17 gallons but happy to drop to half that as I won't be doing long runs - and after 2-300 miles
i'm as likely to need a drink as the car.
An OE injection one is preferable as it saves faffing with twin pumps and swirl pots and preferably the pump can either feed a 200bhp engine or can
swap the pump for one that can...
Suggestions please!
There's a chap racing an F27 in the Northern sports & saloons, that has a complete bike tank inc pump under the boot cover. Not sure on
capacity, but he manages a 20 min race.
Might need a bit more than that...
Anyone know the size of a Sierra one?
Got an ebay bargain in the shape of a Focus tank and now to the next question...as its plastic can you "reshape" them if needed with a hot air gun???
What about an outboard motor fuel tank?
Literally dozens of shapes & sizes - see ebay for just a few examples

Now you're just being picky!
What some folk do is cut a hole at the lowest point of the tank, and fit a sump type arrangement below that for the fuel pump to sit in. It also
serves as a swirl pot.
Seen photos by folk who've done this to metal tanks, although admittedly not with poly.. polly.. plastic
I've always got the "modify my existing" option but was trying to cut the odd corner (namely why go to the hassle of making something
when there's a ready made solution out there).
I've not got a lot of depth to play with though with my existing tank, hence looking for something else. Still think a Sierra one might do
except still don't know the dimensions of one.
