Hmmmmm. Interesting question. I've had fuel starvation issues myself on a road course with lots of hard turns (VIR turns 3, 4 & 5 going into the 'little straight' before the uphill esses) I wonder if a gas tank swap would work? Hmmmmm. I would love to know if its possible.

it probably is possible. are you leaking fuel or just running lean?

if you are leaking, i'd just stick with the tank you have, and if you are running lean, get yourself a 255 lph fuel pump.

like i said it's not anythign to do with running lean, it's the physical design of the civic fuel tank that allows the fuel to slosh around

I know the integra tank is built differently, so that the fuel stays somewhat stationary

Just wanted to know if the fuel tanks would swap ... just because the bodies are different, i've never actually seen a picture of either of the fuel tanks so wondering if they are roughly the same shape, and whether they would swap ....

Anyone have a picture of a civic fuel tank, and another picture of an integra tank

maybe we'd be able to see any noticable differences

Might help us out

why not get some fuel cell foam and put it in the stock tank?
