Im in search of a new tank as it a royal PITA to remove and reinstall. Next time the plastic tank comes out its going into the trash. Found some nice ss and alum tanks with larger capacity just custom made. SO now I only put 10-12 gallons in at a time.
You should get the new aluminum tank and put the in tank fuel pump setup in. Would work so much better with your stack injection. When your car was built it just was not an available option. Shoot me an email if you need the info.
