Real Garage: Custom Oil Tank (All's Well That Oils Well!) (Season 4, Episode 6)

In this episode of Real Garage, Andy fabricates an aluminum oil tank: an essential part of the dry sump oiling system for his '69 Trans Am's engine.

When Andy puts his Pontiac through its paces on the track, a hard reality is hard cornering — and that could mean oil starvation and a permanent engine vacation. Watch as Andy shows you how to fabricate an aluminum oil tank: With a 10-quart capacity and internal baffles, it’ll keep lubrication flowing and the engine going! Don’t miss Andy’s Real Scoop on aluminum bending: Learn how this metal’s grain affects stress cracks — and how to avoid them.
