SO I have the aeromotive tank thats from tanks inc. I cant do anything with it under half a tank. So whats a tank that actually works with efi that will go around corners and be able to launch at the drag strip. I cant even accelerate hard on the street with street tires right now. Ive read alot about the ricks efi tank but I dont know which one or how much they are.
EFI tank that works

The massaging involved equates to measuring a rod, cutting it a specific length according to the instructions, and attaching it to the sending unit. I can be pretty lazy at times, and it was simple enough for me to get right the first time..

Well Ill be driving it this week and gonna get the fuel level down to close to empty and pull the tank and check everything out. I have another TANKSINC tank sitting here for a ls1 swapped 72 im gonna compare the baffles and see what the difference is.

So no luck. I've contacted aeromotive and tanks inc and they both told me their product sucks. So im exploring other options. I'm thinking about running a surge tank inside the trunk and that feeding an a1000 pump. I don't know what else to do. It sucks when you cant even launch your car or take an exit/entrance loop ramp at a decent speed.
Also I'm about to turn this into a heat case since I just pulled the tank and its leaking in some spots around the seams. Seems pretty pitiful that its a brand new $700+ tank and it doesn't work and it leaks.

68-72 Chevelle Vaporworx Tank
This is what I'm thinking of getting.
It uses the stock 2015 camaro pump that you can get anywhere

Can't believe I missed this Thread after my issues in thread below, from there it appears blokes running the 255LPH pump are fine, but I have had no issues on street like yourself, maybe I've just been behaving myself a little more.

My solution, hopefully get majority plumbed & connected this weekend.

Where are you putting the surge tank? Only place i could come up with was above the rear end inside the trunk.

I've always thought the Tank's retrofit modules would be the way to go for a street car using a factory tank. Looks like their tray would eliminate the majority of problems. In-Tank Fuel Pump Module - PA-Series

Supposedly Tank's Inc makes Aeromotive's tanks, only the pumps differ.
I emailed Tank's inc this week and they confirmed that the baffling on their retrofit tanks is being revised to address this issue. Kinda sucks if you already have one though.

Weird....that was reply from back in JUNE...and just to update 2/16/17rel3rd said:
I took mine out yesterday for a parts run and some BFG abuse...1/8th tank, not by accident, but by my laziness to not stop...
Ran 100%...No nosing over, no leaning out, no pulling/hp loss that I could feel/hear...

after exchanging emails with one of the Aeromotive tech advisors I received a phone call today from him explaining that since my tank is leaking they are going to replace it under warranty and they are sending the new style sump that Tanks Inc hasn't released yet. He doesnt know if it will cure all the issues of fuel starvation but he said its worth a shot with the new style sump.

which one the old one or the new style?
Both.
I have been emailing with a tech at Aeromotive with the same issues you describe. I bought my tank in March of 2014. Hopefully they will make things good for me. Very frustrating to drop that much money on a system and it doesn't work.

I've been passively watching this thread. I purchased a scratch and dent special from Tanks Inc for my 64 Chevelle, received it Saturday. I've tried to get pics of the sump, it's a bucket spot welded to the bottom of the tank. Hopefully this is the new design?

Probably a slot in it somewhere.
