any one know the guidelines with fitting a custom made fuel tank in the back of a clubman van. i was think two tanks one eitherside long the sides over the wheel arches or around them. questions comments answers all welcome . p.s my original tank bit rusty around seam and not big enough capacity for the turbo clubby.

Why put it inside? There is a huge area in vans in front of the rear subframe, just made for fuel tanks i reckon Keeps your centre of gravity nice and low too...

That's where mini is going on my van. Nice simple square shape too as well.

ehhhhh i dunno i was looking before and where will my exhaust go???? dont need hot fuel with a turbo engine dont like each other much??? anyone else

Where does your exhaust go now? Right under the tank.

Use a heat shield if it concerns you....

next to it i had a tow bar fitted when i bought it

Hey has anyone Ever done a Stainless steel Drop TANK B4 EG SLR 5000 style!!

The original woody wagons sold in England years & years ago, had also an accessory auxillery fuel tank avaliable to buy ,,,& it was actually fitted behind & over the left rear wheel arch, almost like the sedan tank

so there you go

i`m full of usless trivia tonight hey?

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Something like my moke tank?

Except I made it out of 4mm marine grade aluminium.
Could polish it I suppose, but WTF it's going under the car

yep thats larger then my life.. well my social life anyway.. but hey nice tank

gee whiz thats tha TICKET now howz are you goin to fit to the underneath of the car? is it possible for a clubman??

i probably would Polish it and maybe put a fish scale pattern On ( do u kinda know what im talking about??) if you did polish it Would it stay shiny or would it go Tarnished again And again

nice tank. darken mini. is it chequer plate that you are talking about. if so that would look wikid. have never seen it on a drop tank before. AWDMOKE i keep forgetting to ask. what motor are you going to run in the moke. i know it is subaru drivetrain but you haven't said subaru motor

You mean "brushed aluminium". Not a big fan of that. Made another tank before ex-floor plate (chequer plate) for a Hilux - looked good. Ali will only stay shiny if you put a coat of laquer over the top. Just bought polishing wheels & compounds & tried 'em out over the weekend - will post pics later

Oh, and Chris I did say "NA Subaru Impreza EJ20"
that means it's normally aspirated 2L 16V quad cam boxer 4cyl subie
