is there any stock gas tanks that you can swap into a fox that will hold more gallons of gas than the stock fox tank?

I don't think there is but it would be interesting if there was. Why are you looking to swap one in?

Yup I guess they did


First things first: the furnace. Stoked with a steady supply of premium unleaded, fanned by modified SVO GT40 intake components, and exhausted through low-restriction pipes, this is 351 cubic inches of American V-8-the tenor of which hasn't been heard in a factory-built Mustang since '73. The powerplant basics are the same as those in the Ford F-150 Lightning pickup, but tuned with a specific camshaft, roller rockers, intake manifold, and a fuel injection system for increased mid- to high-rpm power. To help keep its poise during a 24-hour enduro, an aluminum two-row radiator was installed and augmented by an auxiliary coolant "de-gas" tank designed to trap and exhaust air in the cooling system. A 20-gallon fuel cell provides extra capacity (versus that of the stock 15.4-gallon tank) to lengthen the time between pit stops.

I wonder if you can get these at a parts store...

found this but it looks overkill just for the increased fuel capacity and the hp this turbo car will be making.
