Detroit Speed 1974-81 GM F-Body Stainless Steel Fuel Tanks

Detroit Speed stainless steel fuel tanks bring modern fuel system capability to 1974-81 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird builds. Built from 304 stainless steel with internal baffling and corner pickup provisions, this tank helps control fuel slosh during hard acceleration, braking, cornering, and low fuel conditions. The reprofiled shape improves clearance for larger 3.00 in. exhaust routing, while the modular USCAR mounting ring supports carbureted and EFI fuel modules sold separately, including GM "SS" and "ZL1" style options. It gives builders a cleaner, more flexible foundation for current fuel needs and future upgrades.

Factory tanks were not designed for the grip, braking, and acceleration loads of a modern first-generation F-Body build. Detroit Speed uses internal baffling and corner pickup provisions to help maintain fuel supply when the vehicle is driven harder on the street, autocross course, or track. The tank profile creates added room around the rear of the car, making it easier to package larger exhaust systems on lowered Camaro or Firebird builds. The result is better clearance, cleaner routing, and a more finished underbody layout.

The modular USCAR mounting ring adds long-term value. Builders can start with a carbureted setup and move to EFI later without replacing the tank, as long as the proper compatible module is used.
