is your car the stock width or is it wider, my car is mc sorley wide, and i am using fuel injection so i needed a tank with an internal pump, ford explorer two door fit the bill, it has an internal pump, return and everthing you need, i even have all the emmission stuff connected including the sealed filled cap inside the trunk.
it can be shortened if you like just by cutting off one end as all the stuff you need is at the other end.
most aftermarket tanks have the fittings through the top and for f/i with an external high pressure pump that will not self prime, you will have to blow into the filler neck to push the fuel over the hump, once there, it will just syphon which is o.k. till you run out of fuel and have to do the blowing trick again.
my tank holds 19 gallons because i live in the middle of nowhere so i can't have a car that needs a tank of gas to get to the nearest gas station, gas in my town has been $4.50 or there abouts for months now but in my nearest city, some 65 miles away its $3.65 a gallon so when i go there i need to bring some back in the tank.
John, I'm building a +442, so it should fit. Good info! I'm not sure if the miata has a return type fuel system, but either way, it would work fine. Good info on the aftermarket tanks and priming. That would be annoying. Plus, an explorer is real easy to find in the junkyard (it is a Ford, afterall), so that = good!

Pete, thanks! I'll check it out!

Been real busy with life the past few days, and then a huge snowstorm last night, so haven't been doing too much on the car. Continued stripping the miata tuesday night, have a bunch of parts all over my build table, so I need to clean clean!
