1968-1970 FIA GT Fuel Tanks
gbVette62 suggested I post this here, instead of the Autocrossing & Roadracing sub-forum:
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)
Thanks,
