Current 914/6 oil tank options, a summary of a borderline FAQ Options

[lapuwali]

From what I've been able to dig up so far:

An OEM tank is available for roughly $1100, plus you need the oil filter base and the filler neck. The bird has these, probably others, too.

PMS sells an Al tank for $800, plus oil filter base and filler neck. They also have a neck for $115. I didn't see the oil filter thingie on their site.

The DWD tank listed under the vendor's section says "see the club store", which isn't an option right now. So, what's the story here?

GPR doesn't list a tank on their site, though it's rumored they offer the DWD tank.

Am I the only one that keeps thinking of Dirk Wright Disease when I see "DWD"?

There are various "race" tanks available, but they all seem to require mounting in the front trunk, which I'm not doing.

The OEM style tank mounts the oil filter in such a way that you're pretty much certain to drip oil all over the engine bay changing it. An inline filter that (for example) runs between the outlet from the scavenge port to the tank, which mounts below the tin on the firewall, seems a better approach to me. Anyone try this, perhaps with a custom tank that still fits in the fenderwell?

Any other oil tank options?
