Has any one thought about replace the fuel tank with monaro's??

[_GTO_]

Hi every one

I just think about replace my vy commodore's fuel tank with the 2006 monaro's fuel tank and that because I wanna had a custom exhaust system with 2 side pipes (like the monaro) cuz I'm totally sick of that one side pipe:cry:

so does the tank gonna fit in my commodore ?
and if its doesn't ,what can I change to do that and what I need to do that.

that's all .

Well, seeing the monaro is a coupe and not a 4 door sedan, you may run into issues.

yeah but they have almost the same wheelbase, except the monaro has the tank in the middle,am I right ?

thanx for your reply Mack.

I wouldn't know about the fuel tank but a twin system on a v6 will drone like crazy.

get a fake tip put on the other side to match, problem solved minimal work required and no one will know bar u if done nicely

by memory if you were going to do that you have to raise the fuel filler up heigher and you will have a pipe running in you boot. by memory thats what they did to the monaro

It would be possible but then again why bother? The US GTO/Monaro fuel tank was mounted in the boot between the rear wheel arches to comply with US crash laws. There was a massive steel frame that protected it (just in case your car was rear ended at 150mph). From memory the filler was moved but I honestly can't recall for sure.

hmm, maybe so it looks like a supercar filler, or make it higher for lazy obese americans?

Just get your self a fuel cell in the boot, i think you would run into many problems trying to fit a monaro tank
