Jeepster fuel tank options?

Hey all, I have been working on a fuel pump/tank solution for my 5.3 powered 68. I have gone through several ideas in the last 6 months or so, but ran across an adapter/mount for a standard chevy fuel pump assembly. I like this because it has a fuel cup to limit starvation on hills and at low fuel levels.

this is a weld on ring that can be added to a steel tank.

They sell a used Camaro pump assembly that has a fuel cup for $110, reading around the web I think it is 11" tall.

Measured my stock tank in the 68 and looks to be about 8" tall, could probably trim down the camaro assembly to fit, but then I started thinking why do this much work to the 15 gallon tank (my commute is 60 miles a day and I hate stopping for fuel all the time)........

Only larger Jeepster tank I could find in steel was the Aero tank JP23, price seems ok through parts dude, quality looks to be a little hit and miss with the mount positions, but usable in the end. I looked some for CJ tanks and other options, but again, couldn't find dimensions. I don't mind a small loss of ground clearance, but don't want to loose 6"......

Anyone know the actual dimensions on the Aero Tank for the Jeepster? Mainly depth, but all 3 would be nice to have.

Alternatively has anyone come up with a super slick setup that can feed 60 psi to a FI motor with an in tank pump?

Thanks guys.

 

Any reason you want in tank? I'm using a fuel pump mounted on the frame with a TBI 4.3. I carry a spare and could change it quickly on the trail.

 

I like the in tank for low noise and reliability. I have had to be change external ones, and want the factory reliability of a pump that GM spent big $ designing. I have found that for a lot of things your better off using factory parts where you can.

I too like the factory pump and am installing a 2000 vintage 4.3 in a 72 commando. I am building a tank out of 1/8 plate. Have it cut and ready to bend then will have to vertical weld corners and make a top that will have a mount ring from a gm tank welded on. If I remember right it is going to be 24 inches wide, 24 inches long, 13 inches deep at the front 12 inches and then angle upward to 9 inches deep at rear. Plan on making a sump/well out of 1x2 tubing that will also reinforce tank for impacts and welding in bottom of tank before top is welded on. If you find something that works good I would like to hear of it.
