Meth tank

pcockley · 10-08-2011, 03:28 PM

I am thinking of going down the meth road but do not want to use the we tank, nor am I overly keen to sacrifice good trunk space on a tank.

This led me to think where is there wasted space??? Well in the e92 there is that flap on the floor of the trunk that has a rather oddly shaped empty space under it that IMHO would be perfect for a meth tank!

Anyone know if there is a prefab tank available or how one would go about making one??

im gonna put my pump under that fold-out inside the cubby hole and mount the tank to the back of the rear seat..1 gallon tank not gonna take much trunk space..also its better in that location because the tank will be higher than the pump..lessening gravity backflow and losing prime

Jeff can make you a custom tank for that spot.

I saw a photo somewhere that had the pump under the trunk cover and this made me think is there some sort of rubber bladder fuel think that could be placed over the top of the pump? otherwise I might approach a fabrication shop to make a custom tank.

The convertibles utilize that space for the hydralic pump

Can anyone point me to where iI can get the dimensions of the 'space', I think I have found a fabrication shop and I need the dimensions under the hatch (as I am now told the Hydralic *******

You can probably go to a hobby shop and make your own mold of the actual space with ceramic or whatever they use to make molds. Bring that mold impression of the space and the fabrication shop can make a mold for the plastic custom meth tank
