Bill Dailey once told me that he would rather have 2.5 gallons in a taller tank than 4 gallons in a short, fat tank. His comment was based on head pressure and better de-aireation of the oil. I think more volume is better for oil cooling, if you need that. I opted for a 7" diameter tank that is 21 or so inches tall - holds just over 3 gallons. I also have a big oil cooler that holds quite a bit of oil. Pappy

![]() Pappy -
I was looking at the Z06 tanks as an idea and thought, hmmm - that might be an approach. Makes good sense from a lateral G loading too. Footprint is just like you mentioned, a narrow (but taller) tank is a little easier to situate. Haven't sourced a tall narrow tank yet - but that is now a focus. Oh yeah, I need to mention nice CF work on your install BTW! I also plan on a cooler - already have one the shelf so that will be in the system too. It will still have to find a "favored" side left/right, but there will be a place. Thanks and, Cheers - Jim

![]() The water pump and crank are 1:1, I forget what the alt is and the car is still at the fab shop... I’ll have to see if I can dig up some records. 1:2.75 is in my head for some reason...
