A Online Bargain

This Peterson 4 gallon (15L) dry sump tank just came in for the Nissan, one that I purchased from a Nascar trader online.


I hate purchasing used things online, especially race parts, however this caught my eye. At $285 and $77 freight, I just couldn't say no, as the retail is $516 and over $100 in freight from Jegs, plus a dual clamp fitting kit for $88.

I purchased a new clamp kit for it, I noticed that the ones on the tank were different, but still functional, so they will get a clean, wrap and into the "spare parts" box to take trackside.

I split the tank this evening, and had a look at the unit, apart from outer scuffing and mild blemishes, its perfect. Ill finish it up to a new condition right after I fit it in the boot, and decide where and how it will sit. Ive got some heater pads coming in for it, and we will be in business. 


As it was split, it still had a light film of very light engine oil through out.

Lower half and pickup, is all like new.
