Hey all,
About to go through the pain of yet another minor makeover - already know its going to blow out - and want to change the fuel tank out of the xw (sedan). I want to explore the idea of using an alloy drop tank so as to free up more boot space.
Anyone had experience with living with a drop tank, or know who i can talk to to organise one to be made, or heaven knows someone who manufactures alloy tanks for the xw/xy series!
Cheers

Try a Boat Builder or get hold of Andrew at Streetneat Panels on Brisbane's Southside. Tell him that Qute sent you. [Edit] While Andrew may not be able to supply you with a tank, he should be able to direct you to someone who can make one as he sells l Edited by user Saturday, 21 May 2005 4:22:28 AM(UTC)
