Easily Add Power with Tunit Tuning
Tunit provides an efficient and adaptable method of enhancing a vehicles performance (power and torque) without the need to alter the vehicles original equipment or programming. The advantages of the Tunit are; adjustment for optimum efficiency (both manually, by the customer and electronically, via a PC by a distributor), flexibility, as in movement from one vehicle to the next and ease of installation. The principle of Tunit is to provide all these advantages that previous methods of tuning such as EPROM replacement and "flashing" or OBD tuning could not.

Special ordered from ATL to fit "perfectly" into the boot! Way too expensive though, and not as tailor fit to the boot as I'd hoped.

I dont use the stock filler neck for that reason. It ups the chance for gasoline to spill over to the paint.

I suggest just using the cap that comes with the fuel cell and just open the boot every time you fuel up.

Sounds like a big deal but I dont fuel up much.

Fuel safe are great but this one will set you back about $900 with the tie down straps. I say get a cheaper one.

Be careful that you don't stop up the fuel pipe where the hose attaches.

I purchased one from http://www.por15.com.  Seems like pretty good stuff.  The tank isn't rusted through, just some surface rust on the inside.

I appreciate it, but just ordered the repair kit.  If it doesn't work, I'll hit you up.  Thanks.

Well, there is rust in the fuel tank and instead of laying down over $300 for a new one, an after market fuel cell is sounding like a better idea.  Anyone do this before?  Any suggestions?
