Given the specs on different sites it looks like "the Tank" holds the same amount of fluid as other comparable tanks (Moroso etc.). But it looks way bigger. Anyone know if it holds anymore fluid or some other huge advantage other than it looks cool in the engine bay lol?

It does NOT hold more. Personally i like the looks of the moroso aluminium tanks better.

I actually think the tank looks way better, really cleans up the engine bay.

That's why I bought it

They're all going to do the same thing. Just depends on what 'look' you prefer.

Oh, yeah I definately like the way "The Tank" looks in the engine bay definately, but if it isn't going to give me any more fluid capacity, then I will probably just save the money with the Moroso tank. If I had to pick based on looks definately "the Tank". I am gonna spend alot of money soon though and I gotta save somewhere lol. If there was a capcity/performance difference then DEFINATELY worth it to me for the extra cash.

The one thing I have learned with these cars is do it right the first time. It might save you money now but it will cost you in the long run when you change your mind and get the tank and sell your others for way less then u paid.

Trust me I know with my h/e and shifter

The Tank kicks ass. Really cleans up the engine bay. Yes, I pick it up because of the looks. But on top of that I was also supporting a smaller buisness. Also, There customer service kicks ass. Great people.

Dont let the above posts fool you. The " tank" holds less than the moroso. Tank =104oz
Moroso =Approx 128oz

As far as looks check out the pic in this thread. Looks great!(not my car)

More fluid =better cooling and its way cheaper! Looks (subjective) vs less money and better perormance?

I went with the roush tank. it looks like stock but holds 96oz of fluid. I went with stock look and the plastic tank because i was under the impression that plastic decipates the heat better than metal but i could be wrong

Love the Tank. I have one and would never consider anything different. Made in America and has awesome customer service. The owner of MHR is a regular on here, GOT SVT, aka Jake. Remember you are getting to tanks in one when you compare prices.

Its all preference. Yes it holds more fluid than stock, but not as much as the single moroso tank, which are a very nice.
Cant go wrong either way, just get something that holds more fluid.

Just depends if you want your tank to stay in one piece or not.








Haha just kidding.
It's sexy
