Restoring a second-generation Camaro often means facing the realities of age and corrosion, especially when it comes to the Camaro fuel tank. After decades of sitting, running, and being exposed to moisture, the original tanks in these cars are usually full of rust, varnish, and hidden debris. While it may be tempting to clean and reuse the factory tank, doing so can be risky.

Even after a thorough cleaning and chemical sealing, contaminants often remain trapped in seams or baffles. Over time, that debris can break loose and enter the fuel system, clogging filters or causing carburetors and pumps to fail. The result is an unreliable setup that compromises performance and can undo hours of tuning work. For anyone building a dependable street car or weekend cruiser, replacing the Camaro fuel tank outright is a smarter, safer investment.

Built For Camaro And Compatible GM Models

The Tanks Inc. TM2 Camaro fuel tank is a direct replacement for 1974–1981 Chevrolet Camaros and fits like a factory component. Tanks Inc. designed this tank using die-stamped galvanized steel with a durable silver-gray finish that resists corrosion and matches the original appearance. It’s also compatible with similar GM models from the same era, including the Pontiac Firebird, Chevrolet Nova, Buick Skylark, Oldsmobile Omega, and Pontiac Ventura and Phoenix.

With a 21-gallon capacity and dimensions of 39-5/8 inches long, 21-1/4 inches wide, and 10-1/4 inches deep, the Camaro fuel tank fits precisely within the factory mounting points and uses the original-style straps. The filler neck is not included, allowing owners to reuse their existing neck or fabricate a custom solution. This tank cross-references GM2 for easy identification, providing builders with confidence that they’re using the correct part for their restoration or maintenance project.

Complete The System With A Matching Fuel Sender

To complete the installation, Tanks Inc. recommends pairing the TM2 Camaro fuel tank with the FG103B fuel sender, which is specifically designed for 1976–1981 Camaros and is compatible with other GM platforms, such as the Nova and Skylark. The FG103B features a 0–90 ohm resistance range, a 3/8-inch pickup tube with a strainer, and stainless steel construction for long-term durability. Each sender also includes an O-ring and lock ring for a secure, leak-free fit.

A Reliable Upgrade For Every Camaro Build

Replacing an old or rusted Camaro fuel tank may not seem like the most glamorous upgrade, but it’s one of the smartest. The Tanks Inc. TM2 Camaro fuel tank delivers a clean, corrosion-resistant design that restores reliability to classic GM cars while preserving factory fit and appearance. With modern materials and precise construction, this tank ensures your Camaro’s fuel system performs as strongly as the engine it feeds.
