Caprice fuel tanks for EFI swap - FREE
Permalink  
 

I have 2 91-96 Caprice fuel tanks here that I want to get rid of... they can be used with some trimming of the frame rails as a cheap do-it-yourself alternative to the more expensive EFI conversion tanks.

FREE to the first two people that come here to get them (or one person that wants both... I just want them gone)

Are they side fill or rear fill?

They are rear fill (sedan) tanks.

Derek,

Are you coming up to the meet this weekend? I would take them off your hands.

Not going to make it... they're buried in snow right now too.

No problem...I should be going to Rochester in the next month to visit the in-laws. I'll touch base then if you still have them.

minor trimming on the frame rails, and trunk floor mods are required.

On an Elky, there probably won't need to be floor mods, as the bed is high enough to clear the fuel pump "hump" in the tank - I had to use 3" spacers between the bed floor to get it to hang in the proper location.
On a Sedan/Coupe a "blister" or access hatch will probably need to be fabbed in the trunk floor to clear the hump.

On a '65 the tank snuggled up like it was made for it. Other years may require a little trim on the frame rails.
