I'm using a 32 gallon Fuel Safe MilSpec bladder and can system. HOWEVER I run a whole string of quarter miles at a time !
Don't mind me, all this c-c-c-c-cold weather has done frosted my brains and I'm bored st-st-stiff. :roll: :roll:

I run a 3 gal. on alcohol in the Malibu. I originally bought a 4 gal. but couldn't get it to fit next to the rad. frame and front fender well. If you're running gas 3 gal. will be big enough, but alcohol in the qtr. it's cutting it close, you'll probably use 1 1/2 to 2 gal. alcohol but less on gas if you drive it to the starting line and back to the pits after the run.

I'm running a 540 BBC on gas and I use 1 gal per pass. I drive it to the lanes and back to my pit. I have a 10 gal cell only because that's what was in the car when I bought it. Depends where you are putting it and how much space you have and do you need it for weight transfer. A 5 gal cell would be plenty in most cases.

you shouldnt be worried with fuel consumption, that dont matter to me cause the price of fuel vs the amount of fun it just doesnt matter...

plus i do admit i got a trailer queen, but pro gears, big cam,bla bla bla, its hard on stuff

never studied my milage, but when beatin on her its a little less than 30 miles to the gallon

I run a 632ci and spray 700 hp nitrous on two systems. I go through just over one gallon on the quarter mile. I have a 3 gallon tank, its plenty.

Best so far is 6.84 @ 198.09mph. Hoping to wring a little more out of it yet. Check the video.
