Any suggestions for gas tank for fi? I am doing a 4age - bugeye swap.

Hi Patrick,
Is there enough room to weld a small sump on your original tank, and weld in your bungs for AN fittings. You will need a roll over vent installed (good idea) , and a return line. You could also replace with aftermarket tank that has all the fittings already installed.
For my build, I purchased a RCI aluminum fuel tank, then added a sump w/bung, and installed some baffles in for fuel slosh.
Just some idea's for you!
By the way , great engine idea for your Bugeye. Also you don't live far from me.
Good luck!
I used the original tank with the mounting brazed in from the Camaro tank that would accept the in tank high pressure pump which I shortened to fit. Down side is that I do get some fuel starvation in a hard right turn with less than about 1/2 tank of fuel left in the tank. A small sump would help elimanate that problem.
I am thinking about an external swirl pot. Feed the swirl pot with low pressure pump and then fi pump on the other side of the swirl pot. Seems like it might be the easiest method.

I used the stock MG Midget tank and a Ford Ranger EFI inline pump, used the not used charcoal cannister vent line for the fuel return, no issues unless you have only one gallon left in the tank

If you decide this is an item you'd like to outsource, you might consider contacting Todd Budde for an estimate. He's made a lot of MGB / EFI aluminum fuel tanks, and I'm guessing he'd probably be interested in adding a second fuel tank to his product line. You can study his approach here: http://www.britishv8.org/Articles/Aluminum-EFI-Ready-MGB-Fuel-Tank.htm
If you do contact Todd, please tell him you saw the article on BritishV8.
