I agree as well. The barbed fittings you are seeing are for the vent which I DON'T recommend connecting. Even though I mounted the vent as high as I could it still leaked like the Exxon Veldese when I completely filled the tank. The factory vent and vented cap are working fine.
Mine came with the GSS340 pump. I've run some really happy LS engines with that pump. I wouldn't do a twin pump set up like you're suggesting, it doesn't add up like that. Maybe they can substitute the GP-6 pump for you? Or, if you think you need it, get just the tank and the sender and splurge on an Aeromotive drop in pump. (It'll cost more than the tank.)
I already asked about that, they said
Pictures or it didn't happen.
Let me go a step further...Brass Barbed fittings, Brass/zinc head units, Teflon tape, and NPT fittings of any kind have no place in a 60 PSI efi system whatsoever. I can't believe these "tanks" units are as popular as they are w/o anyone taking note that modern ethanol blend gas EATS brass, Zinc, ETC., and that NPT is NOT an acceptable form of sealing 60PSI of corrosive modern fuel. Perhaps I'm nuts for thinking that an anodized aeromotive or holley pump assembly/head unit is worth the extra $, but I've seen what modern gas does to zinc/brass over time. no thanks
They're inverted flare fittings.
They should post a picture of what it looks like after a few years of ethanol blend walmart gas running through it. you can literally "polish" that yellow coating right off of it with the oils in your skin and a thumb...again pass, but to each their own.
Thank you for weighing in and providing some insightful information on the Tanks inc. fuel tank setup and your concerns with their construction. But back to the original point of the thread, LS swap of the Dart, not bashing of Tanks Inc. and all those who choose to use their products. I don't want this turning into LSX Valiant's thread where a majority of the people were just posting their distaste for his parts, or car, or direction he was going.
I didn`t pay a whole lot of attention to this build, buy there are certainly tapered pipe threads all over the world that are holding more pressure than you`ll ever have out of anything in a car !
Are you referring to the gas tank discussion?
Don't need a whole lot in the way of internal tweaking to support boost on an LS.
I spoke with a friend Danny who is running a turbo 400 behind a turbo LSX in his 69 valiant and he said as long as you tap up the seam at the fire wall it'll fit no issues. The turbo 400 I have right now is a core from my dad that he is letting me borrow for mock up purposes to test the theory that itll fit without cutting, and only a little massaging(if not then i'll "shift gears", sorry had to say that, and figure out my next option for transmissions. But should that be the case then maybe a turbo 350, with its smaller size but almost equal power handling capabilities would be next on the list.
