A local friend is one of the best metal fab guys in the country and we've been kicking around this idea. Is there a big enough market for another, better, oil tank?
I think we could offer it a bit cheaper than what's out there now. Could I get some feedback regarding what would be the ultimate 914-6 oil tank....size, material, construction, features, baffling, etc?

The most inexpensive solution is to pick up a "Coleman" catalog. They cater to American V-8 Racecars/ NASCAR. $300 will get you a 5 gallon capacity oil tank and for a couple hundred more, all the best quality fittings and lines. You give up your front trunk completely, but you still have the choice of paying Porsche $1200/1500 for all "stock" parts for less capacity (albeit you keep the trunk)
