Rick’s Tanks Shows the Work and Dedication Found in Their Products

Custom fuel tanks and components from Texas-based Rick’s Tanks are highly acclaimed across the industry and even across the world. Since opening in 2001, the company has dedicated themselves to customizing and perfecting their craft to give every type of classic automotive driver a custom fuel tank they can be proud of running on their personal ride. But, while you’ve probably seen the finished products from Rick’s, you may never have seen some of the hard work that goes into making one of their famous fuel tanks. Now, thanks to the company’s Facebook page, you can.

You can get a sense of the pride and dedication that goes into creating a custom tank or fuel system component by watching the men and women who are behind such creations. On Rick’s Facebook page, we found just that.

In the two videos we’ve included here, you can see Rick Valdez (above) welding up a custom tank, paying close attention to details, as well as Roger Duarte (below) taking the time to perfectly polish a newly finished tank. When it comes to products from Rick’s Tanks, it’s all about the small details, creating products that go above and beyond expectations.

Rick’s Tanks specializes in custom fuel tanks and components for classics, hot rods and muscle cars from the mid 50s through the early 70s. Baffled with 303/304 grade, mill certified stainless steel, each tank is machine formed, hand assembled and TIG welded right in Rick’s El Paso, TX facility. The company’s full in-house design and fabrication system, aided by top-notch HAAS CNC equipment is what ensures the superior product quality you’ve come to expect from Rick’s components.

Found in 14 countries on five different continents, it’s safe to say that Rick’s products have taken the industry by storm. But with legendary products made right here in America and backed by the dedication found in these videos, that shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone.
