Default Fuel Cell Question?

Hello,


I did a search, but didn't find any recent posts. Has anyone found an aftermarket fuel cell that will fit in a C3 lately? Mine is a 75, and I need to replace the tank. I'm looking for something that has at least 16 gallons with a sump and return line for street use preferably in plastic, and close or exactly where the stock fuel filler opening is. I checked with Ricks Rods, but they prefer to custom build one in stainless, which is nice, but a little overkill for my street strip car. Any ideas????


Thanks,


Joe

I looked into this a while back but couldnt find anything. I would up just buying a new repro tank and I made a sump for it and had my buddy tig weld it then I had the inside coated. I put my own return line up on top of the tank as well as a vent line. Here's a pic of the sump.
You can look around but I think this will be your best bet.
