Ty n 10s
This is what I did to keep from having to run 10 to 15 gal of fuel when racing... to keep from sloshing.
The modified tank keeps the stock mounting straps, fill tube, sending unit, pump setup (stock, big walbro or double pumper), etc. The bottom section holds 5.5 gallons so when empty just put in five gallons of your favorite racing fuel and go race. Can launch fine at 2 gallons without sucking air. 8)
A baffle plate over the inside tub keeps the fuel close to the pump and a second baffle keeps the fuel in the lower portion of the tank on launches. When cruising around town I can fill up with 15.5 total gallons. I will have a weight savings of 75 to 85 lbs when racing.
Just remember if you do this you will have approximately 5.5 gallons when your gauge shows 1/2 full.

This type of modification is not needed on the sy as the sy tank is long and narrow and a simple weld-on sump is the an easier way to go with an external pump. The ty tank is much wider which allows more fuel to wave up the back wall.
