Depends on how many runs I PLAN to do. Usually try to keep it a half tank or less.

Another reason I am going to a cell/custom tank is for a sump to use an external fuel pump.

My stock one has a leak somewhere and I can smell gas. Been this way for a few years and like everything I upgrade when I replace.

Probably your pump, pickup, etc.
But that's a reason not to go to a cell especially with the external pump thing.

If you can get the measurements where the stock tank is, I'd bet ATI has something in the catalog that would be close. I see a lot of different ones at the track.

Are you saying a sump and external pump are not advised in roadracing/autox?

No absolutely not. Saying go for it if you want to.
Probably poor wording, yea after reading it poor. I's saying that I think that problem is in the pump/system and even if a new pump/lines could fix it, you still could put a cell in if you want to.

But, we 5 or so C4's that autocross with stock tanks and 2 or 3 on the big track with no problems.

I started out with a half tank today and ran about an hour total, down to 1/4 with no hickups.
