Also check www.atlinc.com No one has a "direct replacement" at reasonable
cost though. Stock sizes are listed in the catalogs. I had ATL custom-make
a "direct replacement" cell for my MGB. Cost was $1400. It still required
some minor surgery. But, I now have a 12.5 gal tank that takes up only
slightly more space than the original. And, it retains the original filler
on the right rear above the bumper.
I'm looking for a new fuel cell for my Turner & looked at one of ATL's units
that is designed to fit the spare tire well of contemporary cars. They have
an 8 & a 12 gallon version. They are 6" & 8" deep respectively. Smaller
one is 22" in diameter, but looks like one side of it is flat. I need to
measure front-back space tomorrow. Both require a shell to be fabricated to
enclose the bladders. Otherwise, shallowest cells are 8.5" to 9" deep. (My
current 8" deep cell has hit ground too many times.) I really don't want to
do surgery on the trunk floor. But, that may be the only solution.
So Brian, there may be no easy solution for either of us.
