Good job SSM. Next time get a 4th gen tank & removable filler neck!

My Walbro also hums when I turn the key on, significantly louder than stock. My dad has some kind of Holley in his 65 corvette and that thing is LOUD

BigAls87Z28 08-29-2009 08:57 AM

w000ts! We were talkin about your tank install at MCD's on thursday.

LTb1ow 08-29-2009 08:59 AM

LOL. Am I the only brave enough fool to drop the tank and not cut it?

Blacdout96 08-29-2009 09:23 AM

Nah, im dropping my tank, your just lazy cutting your floor to get to it, no excuse.

BigAls87Z28 08-29-2009 09:23 AM

I belive you need bigger balls to cut the hole.
You took the harder yet potentially life saving way.

the 255 is def louder than the stock one but its not bad at all.

LTb1ow 08-29-2009 04:24 PM

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesnt he already have a 4th gen tank :scratch: :nod: :rofl:
I picked up a plastic tank for $50 with about half a tank of gas in it and I bought from someone here a sender for a plastic tank. He had the tank too but that wouldnt fit in my beater..... :shock:

LTb1ow 09-01-2009 08:48 AM

Mine is metal though, are the plastic tanks stock with removable filler necks?

It technically isnt a removable neck but it is rubber coupled to the tank near the bottom making for easier ingress and egress. I put one in my 91 GTA :nod: it was a LOT easier putting that one in than taking the old one out

Whoops, I dropped the word plastic, that was kind of important to the conversation I suppose. :lol:

LTb1ow 09-01-2009 01:08 PM

Yes you did.

So I would need to find a 98 one right? 98 is the only LS1 with return line I think yes?

PolarBear 09-01-2009 01:28 PM

From what I understand the 98 tank is steel still. The others all have a return, you would have to remove the internal pressure regulator though and re-plumb part of the system. The plastic tanks have a "T" block right before the fuel filter that the filter screws into. You could easily replace the "T" with some fittings to make the plastic tank work. I am not familiar with the LT1 cars but if the fuel filter is in the same place as the 3rd gens had then you could make it work fairly easy with 2 adapter fittings, IIRC from memory. I ran -6AN line from the tank all the way to the fuel rails but if I had to do it again with stock factory hard lines I could figure out which fittings to buy.
