Lotus 7 / Caterham Range of Tanks

 

LOTUS SEVEN Series 1

This is a high quality gas welded fuel tank for the Series 1 Seven and has the baffles bolted in place as per the originals (but without the same leakage problems). I have used nice brass bolts and fittings. It includes a period aluminium screw cap. I can also fit any other cap required.

 This tank can also be made with welded in baffles or foam filled.  

Price:   £395 (no vat to pay)  
LOTUS SEVEN Series 2

This is a high quality aluminium baffled fuel tank for the Series 2 Lotus Seven. It includes the aluminium screw cap. I believe that I am the only maker of these tanks. This tank doesn't have the sender unit mount but that can be added if required (as viewed below). 40 litre capacity. 

Price:   £325 (no vat to pay)

 This is a standard shaped series 2 tank, but with the added benefit of a discrete sender unit mount and therefore fitting of a fuel gauge. Supplied with sender gasket. I can supply this sender unit.
Price:   £360 (no vat to pay)

LOTUS SEVEN Series 2 tank, unique

 

This s2 Seven tank is the same shape as the standard tank except that it is slightly larger at the base (dimensions 806mm wide and 238mm front to rear). It was made for a project that didn't materialise and is now for sale. 

It is fitted with an Aston 2 1/4" aluminium cap, and a mounting on the end to fit a discrete sender unit if required (I can supply that sender unit or a blanking plate). Gasket and stainless steel retaining bolts included.

Price;  £400  (no vat to pay)

 

LOTUS / CATERHAM SEVEN (carb model)

This is a high quality direct replacement for the standard fuel tank, but with improved design features. It is common that the standard factory supplied tank occasionally leaks around the sender unit. This tank is designed so that is not an issue. Includes sender gasket.

 Price:   £280 (no vat to pay)
 
LOTUS / CATERHAM SEVEN (injection model)

This is constructed to the same high specification as the carb model above, but designed for fuel injection. I have inserted a machined boss into the side of the tank for the mounting of the internal fuel pump. This rigid boss ensures that leakage is not an issue which is common on some standard production tanks. Includes sender gasket.

I can also manufacture this fuel injected tank for an external fuel pump installation. (Please enquire).

Also please note that when usually upgrading from carb to fuel injection, the fuel cap and filler hose need to be replaced due to the tank filler neck diameter being smaller on the f/injected version. Not a problem here as I can make the f/injected tank with the larger carb size filler neck, so those items do not need to be replaced.

Price:   £310 (no vat to pay)
 
LOTUS / CATERHAM SEVEN (carb model) Long Range Tank

This is designed and constructed to the same standard as the carb model above, but with a larger capacity, 10 gallons.

Price:   £310 (no vat to pay)
LOTUS / CATERHAM SEVEN (injection model) Long Range Tank

This is designed and constructed to the same standard as the injection model above, but to a larger capacity, 10 gallons. Please note that although this tank will fit directly into the standard mounts, the upper boot panel would need to be removed or modified.

Price:   £350 (no vat to pay)

CATERHAM SEVEN (injection model) 60 litre long range tank safety foam filled for endurance racing.

This is FIA compliant. It has a VDO dip tube sender unit mount, screw cap, breather and -6 AN supply and return fittings.

Price:   £445 (no vat to pay)

II can make variations of the Caterham tank including the standard shaped tanks filled with safety foam. Please contact with details.
