Prodigy Customs is Rick’s number one Camaro tank dealer and has done a 10 tank batch buy commitment with Rick’s Hot Rod for 10 of their new Vapor Worx Tanks! The batch buy simply means we commit to buy 10 tanks over the next month, at an additional discount, and we reverse fill the orders with the tank of your specific needs. So instead of speculating on what might sell, we can custom build each tank for you and still save you a couple hundred $$$$$

Be among the first to get the exciting new Vapor Worx tanks. The solution we have all been waiting for!
Rick’s Hot Rod Shop has finally announced their new series of competition ready, street friendly, and show winning stainless steel fuel tanks. Rick’s, in cooperation with VaporWorx, have incorporated a modern high-performance OE fuel pump module into the hand crafted Rick’s tank designs. By utilizing the latest in OE technologies, the new tanks are a complete fuel delivery system that makes installation and maintenance easy while keeping the overall cost affordable.

This new design has been extensively tested in both the real world and laboratory. Road course testing has shown that the new tank design is very capable to less than one gallon of fuel remaining in the tank. No more fuel slosh. No More leaning out at the autocross!

Bummer, I knew a Prodigy special had to be coming, too bad it's only for Camaro/Firebird owners. Where's the love for the 3 of us with different cars?

I can do all cars, no worries. I just listed the Camaros because.........................well...........it is 50% Camaros here.

My PO is Blank, it just says 10 Vapor Werx tanks to be decided, I can specify what and settle up on any difference at the end. Base tank prices do change from car to car.

Call me with your specific needs and I will work up a deal

Plus I'm around to help out with design and pump considerations. Please remember that the pump with the required regulator is 58psi. The regulator that comes with the pump will not work.

Thanks for your support Frank.

So Frank,

You can make a g-body fuel tank also?

"Please remember that the pump with the required regulator is 58psi. The regulator that comes with the pump will not work."

Carl,
Can you elaborate on this statement? The total cost involved is the tank, the module, and a separate regulator? I'm using a GM Gen IV motor.

Hi Frank. I wish I had known about 6 weeks ago you were going to do this... :( I purchased a sump-style Rick's tank for my '69 Camaro.

The module requires a 4th-gen LS1 fuel pressure regulator ($50 or wherever you can find it cheapest). The tank should come with the necessary part to adapt the regulator to the module.

The regulator that comes with the module will not work with our setups.

The output is single line, 58psi, the same as LS1, LS2, etc up until the latest LS/GM versions that use a fuel pump control module.
Sorry, but I'm not familiar with Accell systems or their pressure requirements. If it is possible to tune it to 58psi vs. another standard (42psi) then that may be a good option.

nother question. Is the fuel sending unit in this module compatible with a 90 ohm autometer fuel gauge? I think there are two versions of gauge senders and need to know about this factory type.

CarlC

0-90 and 33-240 ohm sending units are available.

The 0-90 ohm will be a standard float-arm sending unit that mounts via a flange on the manifold plate of the tank. A similar 33-240 ohm sending unit is also available. The OE type that attaches to the module is 33-240 ohm and requires a longer flat section on the lower/forward section of the tank.

So we'd need to purchase a sending unit and fuel pressure regulator in addition to the pump module?

You will need to talk about that with Hector at Ricks.

Whoops. Sorry Frank, this should have been routed to you.
