The best quality aluminium fuel tank to replace the original
steel unit. I would happily compare these to any others on the market.
Please see positive feedback on lotuselan.net
As with all of my tanks I make them myself and this is a
straight swap for the original steel tank.
The sender unit mount is a separate machined boss welded on
the inside and it allows for fitting of the original unit.
Supplied with aerospace quality stainless steel allen headed bolts and washers,
and a new gasket.
All of the mounting bolts and washers etc are included.
There is a drain plug in the correct position and the
internal baffle design is an improvement over the standard item.
Price: £350 (no vat to pay)
Specimen insured shipping rate (to be confirmed at time of ordering).
Elan tank to;
USA, £98
Australia and Japan, £157
Sender units,
Series 1,2 and 3 are no longer available.
Series 4 and
Sprint, £64 (no vat to pay)

Lotus Elan fuel injected tank
This is the same as the standard tank described above but
modified for fuel injection. I have made a number of these.
There is a correct shaped chamber, designed to prevent
cavitation, within the tank from
which the fuel is supplied. There is then a return back into the tank and
that chamber.
The tanks normally have either -6 AN (Aeroquip style)
fittings or a push on type.
Price: £390 (no vat to pay).
Lotus Elan standard tank, safety foam
filled.
These standard shaped and standard appearance tanks are
made containing the correct safety foam which is FIA compliant. With the
addition of the foam (which isn't cheap) the tank loses 2% fuel capacity.
The standard sender unit is used and it's movement is
not fouled by the foam due to the addition of an aluminium baffle about
that movement.
Price: £445 (no vat to pay).
Lotus Elan standard tank, safety foam
filled, for VDO sender unit.
The tank below is safety foam filled but fitted with a
VDO sender unit (included) and -6 AN feed.
Tank Price: £517 (no vat to pay).
Lotus Elan race tank, safety foam
filled.
These tanks have the standard shaped body and are fitted
with a filler cap and catch bowl (as required by race regulations).
It has either a -6 AN or push on fitting which can
be placed where you want, and a
drain plug.
The breather is beneath the catch bowl and designed so
that fuel would not be lost under cornering.
Price: £450 (no vat to pay) without sender unit mount.
Price: £475 (no vat to pay) with VDO sender unit
mount.
VDO sender unit, Price: £72 (no vat to pay).
Price: £499 (no vat to pay) with standard sender
unit mount and protective baffle about it's movement.
Race tank for car with larger inner rear wings.
If you are in the USA or Australia, it is still cheaper
to buy my tanks and the postage, than buy other inferior examples. Current insured postage rate to USA is
£89 (postage price
to be checked when ordering).
