Van K VKA4012 4-Quart Aluminum Fuel Tank - Rear Petcock - Sprint & Speedway

As one of the most critical go kart components on your chassis, the Van K VKA4012 4-Quart Aluminum Fuel Tank is the ultimate solution for eliminating fuel starvation during high-G cornering in sprint and speedway racing. This floor-mounted cell features an internal sump and a rear-facing petcock to guarantee positive fuel pickup under extreme track conditions. Measuring 9 inches deep, 5 inches wide, and 7.75 inches tall, its compact footprint maximizes space while maintaining a low center of gravity.

Optimized Fuel Delivery for High-Performance Engines

Consistent fuel flow is the lifeblood of any race-winning chassis. Whether you are fine-tuning a high-flow tillotson carb or analyzing the thermal breakdown of your motor engine oil, your fuel cell must provide a steady, uninterrupted supply. The VKA4012’s rear petcock layout streamlines your plumbing, reducing fuel pump strain and keeping lines safely tucked away from rotating assemblies. This direct gravity-feed advantage ensures your engine never leans out at the end of a long straightaway.

Track-Tested Durability and Balance

Constructed from heavy-duty, welded aluminum, this 4-quart tank is built to survive the brutal vibrations and impacts of competitive racing. Just as you wouldn't compromise on good helmets to protect your head, you shouldn't compromise on the structural integrity of your fuel storage. The rigid aluminum walls resist chassis flex and track debris, while the internal baffling and sump system prevent slosh. This translates to highly predictable handling, allowing you to hit your apexes with absolute precision.
