Hey Fast man...
I am planning to buy one of these from you, my only problem is the tank and its holding me back.
For about $350 more, right, I can get the FAST EFI kit with an external pump / lines. If one goes this route I have to replace sending unit and/or modify it with one with a return line tube.
I think my current tank is ok but it should be boiled out as there is some rust and old gas varnish in it as it was off the road for a few years. I know from reading the FAST EFI instructions there are like 2 pre-filters in the external pump kit but should I go through all the work boiling this thing out or just plumb another pre-filter before that for a while?
Anyway option 1 estimate: $60 to boil, $10 new gasket, $69 for sender, modify it, $350 for efi external pump kit = $489 total tank investment.
Or…..instead of buying the $350 external pump kit I can buy an internal pump (better setup and one a lot of people use is below) and modify my tank…however every article I have read says to buy a new tank and convert it but I am 80% sure I can boil my old one out:

But…it would require me to cut holes in my trunk to run the lines up from top of the pump as the mopar tank is smooshed up against the trunk floor, no clearance to sneak lines between them. Or pound down the top of the tank for clearance and not sure if I can do that.
Option 2 estimate: $60 to boil, 10 new gasket, 69 for sender, internal pump 215, new external fuel aeroquip supply lines $80 = $434 total. Cheaper, quieter and probably safer but I “may” have to cut up my trunk floor to route lines up and out, maybe not. Don't know.
Or have a custom tank done for the same, I hear they are about $1000 complete. I contacted Ricks Tanks but they need me to send them my old one in as a pattern and wait. I don’t know anyone else doing mopar tanks.
If there was an off the shelf $1k drop in mopar FI A body tank I would just buy it and your system as well and be done with it all.
This is the
only thing that holds me back from taking the plunge. Messing with tanks is a pain and dangerous.
Is that a fair assessment of my options at this time?
Thanks
Sean
