    I was thinking of using that set-up on my next restomod, but the quality of the pump is pretty unknown :dunno:
    Nice price, The cost of a decent pump is around $150 and up, which begs the question what kinda pump it has?Could be a good price for a tank if it has baffling in it.. :bigsmile:

    Tanks Inc Uses Walboro pumps which seem to be pretty nice from what i've heard.

    WOW, awesome stuff!  About time one doesn't have to fork over $1000 for a tank for e-bodies for EFI!

    Walbro pumps are good.  Have one in my G35 supercharged coupe.  WOrks good, but DID crap out, but was only $90 to replace it.


    So I'm confused...is the Tanksinc tank the same as the SPectra tank?  The Tanksinc tank looks like it has the pump mounting from the top:


    BTW, what pump did you order with the tank?

    Pretty sure Tanks Inc and Spectra are different tanks. Yes Tanks inc has the holes for the pump and sending unit on top. At least thats what it looks like from the pics ive seen

    What GreenFish said - they are different. 
    TanksInc uses a top mount pump and sender (not sure of original sender hole is plugged?), the Spectra tanks use the original sender hole for the pump and sender.
    TanksInc looks to use a bathtub style pan for the baffling, not sure what Spectra has.

    Will the Spectra pump/sender unit fit a regular spectra tank, as in is it able to be acquired by itself, I know the regular tank is not baffled but, its an option?

    Looks like Holley invented this HydraMat material that will no longer need a sump or baffles. Also folds up to fit inside small holes before unfolding.

    Hmmm, Didn't look at the price. That would change the whole decision on what to buy.  Cool stuff though.
