Does anybody make a rectangle tank for a FED? I'd like to find something rectangular that will fit inside the frames rails toward the front of my car. does anybody have anything?

They are typically custom built for the application

Kinda what I thought... Thought I might get lucky. :(
-
What size is the space you have to put the tank in? How many gallons does it need to be?
-
I don't know exactly the size of the area and my car is 30 miles from my home so I won't be able to measure till the weekend. I've started looking at aluminum square tubing. It's available in 6x6 and 8x8. I know the 6x6 will fit. 6x6x24 would give me a little over 3 gallons which would be plenty. 8x8 would fill the area better and probably look better than the 6x6.

Bring some good cardboard and tape with you. Make a mockup while you are at the car. Make it the same size as the maximum size it could be. That way you will know what you have to work with.

Fun Fact:
1 gallon = 231 cu.in.
If you decide on the aluminum square tube you could split it down the middle and add a wedge or panel to fil the space between the rails.

That's a good idea. Thanks to all for your input.
