I have been searching but have had no luck, can anyone tell me what the 1968-1970 FIA GT Fuel Tank capacity was?
also if the type shown in these photos was a commercial product, if so who produced them? Where can I find one?
Or a shop made fabrication, that just met the FIA requirements?

I have contacted Wayne Ellwood, of the Greenwood website and he could not tell me anything, but, "larger tanks were available from the aftermarket but FIA mandated a lot of stock equipment for the "GT" class".
I was re-reading Pete's book, "Corvette Racing Legends", and I found on page 234, In 1969, the SCCA approved the use of 42 gallon bladder fuel cell that used a twin Stewart Warner electric fuel pump, so, maybe that's what is in the #6 OC and #49 BFG in these photos.

Does anyone have info on the type used in 1968 or this (pictured) fuel tank?




#6 Owens Corning L88 Tony DeLorenzo/Dick Lang 1970 24 hours Daytona.




#49 BFG L88 7/2007(1)




#49 BFG L88 7/2007(2)

You may want to send a Personal Message to Forum member "63Corvette". His name is Garrett Waddell and he raced the red 69 below, in the early 70's. Garrett has an original 63 Z06 that he has been vintage racing for years. Garrett visits this section from time to time, so it's possible that he may see your post and comment, but a PM might get a quicker response.

You might want to post this in the C3 General Section of the Forum, and maybe even the C1/C2 Section, as there's a fair amount of historic racing knowledge in both sections.
