You are used to seeing Justin Oney’s name here on the pages of BangShift as a photo contributor but in this blog item, the tables have turned! Oney is the host for a cool, quick video that lays out the goodness that is Rick’s first generation (1962-1967) Chevy Nova gas tank. This is a stainless steel tank that is setup to use a modern Delco in-tank fuel pump like is found on the Camaro SS. It is a returnless style pump and since it is OEM rated up to 550hp, it can handle the needs of lots of street machines out there. Justin talks about the baffling in the tank to prevent starvation while cornering or under hard acceleration and braking, etc.
Rick’s Tanks is located in El Paso, Texas and all of their tanks are hand made right in house. The welding is super high quality and they have a myriad of applications from direct bolt in like this Nova tank to race car and off road racing fuel cells designed to handle the most extreme environments and biggest horsepower engines. American made craftsmanship is worth the investment, especially in something as important as a fuel tank. With Rick’s you can trust the work, the materials, and the design. We know lots of guys running Rick’s tanks and if you are in the market, make sure you keep them in mind.
