Hi guys,
Lots of info on a peterson type oil tank for my /6 conversion on the forum, but I can't seem to locate anything on how to plumb it. Is it basically the same plumbing runs as the fender mounted tanks - except the tank is physically located up in the front trunk? Any advice appreciated! |

Line IN - second highest is in from filter
Line in from engine should go to therm to filter , then to motor (and to cooler and back) Line OUT - lowest is out back to motor, highest is to catch can/breather Others can be capped off. catch cans, filters, thermostats, coolers, hoses, connectors, ends, caps and fittings are all very expensive parts... |

Like I said any savings between the two tanks will be eaten up by hoses and fittings. Even if you did come in a couple of bills cheaper that pales compared to the $40k project price tag.
Performance wise the fender tank is more than adequate in a street car. There's a guy here, with a recent thread, that is building his own tank which he is planning to sell. He was hoping for a price point below the Patrick tank. catch cans, filters, thermostats, coolers, hoses, connectors, ends, caps and fittings are all very expensive parts... |
