Suggestions on Fuel Cell's & Fuel Pump

bstang · January 18th, 2008, 10:42 AM

I have a 2.3l that I am trying to get back on the road, its been sitting for about 8 years. I dropped the gas tank to drain and found that it is all rusted to hell. Along with that I'm replacing the fuel pump. I was thinking about replacing the tank with a fuel cell. Anyone have any suggestions? Can you get a fuel pump/fuel cell in one kit, etc.

True ^, But, I have a 5.0 and 2.3 T sitting in the garage waiting to be gutted and brought back to life. Potentially it will not be stock when its all said and done.

If a fuel cell is not the way to go, what would you suggest?

you could get a stock replacement tank, and a new fuel pump. and be done with it .I have seen fuel cells the fit where the stock tank goes but they are pricey. not any real world advantage in having one unless you road race?? if you get a 'box' fuel cell the fab work to get it mounted is just not worth it . unless you just have to have one??

I went ahead and picked up a stock tank over the weekend and picking up the fuel pump and new radiator tonight. Thanks for the info on fuel cells.
