Think the FWD cars use "contoured" tanks, and get more trunk space that way. Both those tanks were contoured and unlike the pillow shaped tanks aft of the axle in RWD cars. So you would cut through the floor under the rear seat. But pulling the tank might happen only once in the life of a car anyway, so I won't be cutting holes. |

I think on vaccum carbs lots of lattitude to do this, plus that self regulating gas float valve on the carb. but the injectors need 40 PSI across them, BUT could hook up the spair tire air on the roof with a valve and hose to a pressurized gasoline can and have tube come out the bottom to the fuel rail. => NO FUEL PUMP TO STORE in Grandma's WD40 again. |
