How to design and build a custom stainless steel EFI fuel tank for a hot rod, truck or a muscle car.

“Out in the West Texas town of El Paso, Rick’s built a custom stainless tank for our truck …” We apologize to Marty Robbins and any fans, but we couldn’t resist humming the line from his gun-slinging ballad “El Paso,” which is famously set at Rosa’s Cantina (still in operation). In fact, if you were to stagger out of Rosa’s after a couple tacos and cold ones, Rick’s Tanks is just a few clicks up the road. Rick’s has been building high-quality stainless steel tanks for 25 years and continues to hand-make direct-fit and custom tanks. When they started, custom-built stainless tanks were reserved for high-end builds, for the most part, but Rick’s was on the forefront of tanks specifically built for EFI with the pumps mounted in the tanks. The Pro Touring and race community loved them for their work on fuel pickups and custom baffling. In the case of our ’64 Chevy project we decided to have a custom tank built that would mount under the bed but high in the rails to keep its appearance minimized while adding clearance for exhaust routing. For custom builds, Rick’s has a template to download, or you can send a CAD drawing of your own. They’ve even received cardboard mock-ups before! If you can dream it, they can build it. All of Rick’s custom tanks are formed from 14-gauge 304 stainless steel sourced in the U.S. They are assembled and welded one at a time by a single craftsman from start to finish. Unless specified, most of the tanks are fitted with a modified fifth-gen Camaro SS fuel pump module that provides OEM reliability and is set up for a returnless fuel pump system, saving the need to run a return line from the engine to the tank. They also install a tube-style sending unit to match most any gauge. Our tank was pretty straightforward with a single pump, but with 25 years of experience, Rick’s has seen it all, including dual pumps, corner pickups, weird forms, and reservoirs for off-road racing and more. To get an idea on the process, we stood watch as our tank took shape and we can also report that it fit into our framerails just perfectly! The only downside of our tank is it is going to be covered up by the bed—so now’s your chance to check it out. www.rickstanks.com
