Junkyard, or 50resto.com for an OEM tank.

Otherwise, you can just make one out of a PVC/ABS sewer pipe, some caps, and some fittings. I think it was HISSIN50 that had one ... or was it JRichker? Or ... oh, hell, my memory's shot. Someone did it, I dunno who, but it was pretty nifty...

JRichker had the nice (Homemade PVC tank) idea and I bastardized it to work on a 94-95 (tighter clearance specs under the hood. Very much the same idea as Jrichker's though).

DW's ideas are where I'd start too. If you hit the J/Y, try to ensure the thing aint leaky.

If you have green stuff oozing out of your pockets, you could go for an alum Canton. They're beautiful.
And some use a catch can (alum or plastic), or a reservoir from another car.



Good luck.

My DYI setup made from Home Depot PVC pipe – cheap except for the aluminum for the mount bracket.











Advance Discount Auto Parts has a cheap (less than $8) plastic kit, but mounting space may be an issue.

I've been using the above pictured Autozone catch can. It works, although it looks tacky, and it barely leaves any room between itself and the A/C pulley/belt.

Click to expand...

the tank was $28.00, and the mount was $7.00. I've tried just about every overflow that would fit, and this setup i'm most pleased with. With everything mounted into the fender most people dont think i'm running a tank at all.... I did swap the fittings on the tank and moved the brass 90 to the bottom and the fuel valve to the top for the vent. I got everything from summitracing.
