How about this custom fuel cell made for the Herbie-X project, seen here on the bottom of page 2 -
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v336/marekV8/HERBIE%20GLAMOUR/ I believe Dave-NO_H20 has posted some other pics here somewhere, and I think he said it's a 16 gallon. Last edited by kelwa1; October 28th 2007 at 14:18. Reason: .

I like the Herbie-X tank, its updated and clean look. Where would you get something like that?

The Herbie-X tank has 16 gallons, and was custom made by Fuel Safe. They could make another one now that they have one made.
 It also has a kevlar bladder inside. Get your wallet out $$$

You might be interested in this one:

The Manxter normally takes a standard VW fuel tank - so this should work in a Beetle and possibly another fiberglass buggy design. Capacity is ~13gl. Said the cost was $620 (as shown). That's dirt cheap if you look at what Fuel Safe will charge! Jeff

Thats crazy money. I'm just coming off a $1,800 to $2,000 upgrade on my 69 Type 1. I'll give a call to Fuel Safe just to see and keeping looking for alternatives. Hey there is always EBAY.

Uhhmmmmm..... that latter figure ought to be close to the cost of that Fuel Safe cell. Your only cheap alternative is the mass produced plastic and aluminum cells (no bladder - like the one I posted above). I believe only the smaller (5-8gl?) cells will fit in the VW tank hole.

I've been thinking about using a different tank, or at least a tank that's easy to remove, possibly with an in-tank fuel pump (running Subaru motor).
What is the capacity of a stock '70 standard beetle gas tank ? Anybody here has made changes to the tank setup / conenctions so it's easy to remove ? Thanks, Rob.
