After searching through a few hundred posts I have seen that people would much rather pay $1000 for a original 914-6 fender mounted tank than $200 for a aluminum trunk mounted cell. Seems like an easy savings.
The only issue I can think of besides aesthetics is the aftermarket tank could use some windage/baffling. I can understand if you are building a concourse car but not a auto-x or driver. I'd like to hear some feedback. |

I think this fuel cell has some sort of baffling, but I'll have to check. What is the purpose of baffling in an oil tank? To keep the oil from foaming up? I don't know much about any of this, but I am a CSOB, so I'm always looking for the cheap way out.
