Looking for advice on what gas tank to run in my 69 Camaro which has been minitubbed to the rail (hasn't been cut like the deep DSE tubs require). I'll be running leaf springs and I've got the DSE offset shackles, exhaust is a 2.5" magnaflow system. Was looking at getting a Tanks Inc notched tank but the product details on their website state "Please note that this tank will not work with narrowed leaf spring kits". Anyone know of a tank that will work or has used this tank with leaf springs and minitubs?

I have a 69 Firebird convertible that has DSE mini tubs installed, DSE offset shackles, DSE 2" lowering springs and I went with a Rick's tank in stainless steel. Corners are notched for exhaust routing. Exhaust is 2-1/2" mandrel bent with single crossflow muffler. Tank fit great and is slightly deeper to keep factory volume of fuel seeing that the tank has been narrowed to allow for the leafs being moved inboard.

I have Ricks tank as well - very nice with the clipped corners ...

If your running springs you will need a narrowed stainless tank from ricks

As an FYI, I ordered my tank through Mike at Musclerodz whom also offered advice in this thread of responses. He was excellent to deal with and had best pricing, I would recommend you reach out to him for your needs.

Thanks for the reply guys, the car is apart at the moment at another location so I'm not sure how it all fits together, was trying to plan in advance for when it comes back from paint. I'm in Australia so any stuff ups will work out expensive. I'll have a look at what Rick's have on offer.
