Description
Upgrade your 1947–1953 Chevy or GMC 3100 truck with the AD Ultimate Tank, a premium 22 gallon stainless steel fuel tank manufactured by Rick's Tanks.
Building on the original aluminum tank design, the AD Ultimate Tank features upgraded stainless steel construction, full baffling for improved fuel control, and clipped corners for easier exhaust routing. Designed for a clean, practical installation, it is an excellent choice for both factory-frame restorations and custom truck builds. Order it bare, with an adapter ring for the in-tank pump you already run, or with a Level I or Level II pump kit installed and ready to feed an LS swap.
Level I and Level II pump kits
The pump kits are the reason to buy this tank. Each one is a genuine OE GM in-tank pump with its internal regulator modified to hold a true 60 psi, so it runs returnless exactly like a factory installation: one fuel line from the tank to the rail, no external regulator to mount, plumb or fail. The kit ships installed in the tank with a -6 AN adapter on the pump and a complete wiring harness. Hook up power and ground and the fuel system is done.
- OE GM fuel pump for unmatched reliability.
- Internal regulator modified for a correct 60 psi output.
- Returnless design: a single fuel line to the fuel rail, no external regulator needed.
- -6 AN adapter installed on the pump.
- Complete wiring harness included. Power and ground is the whole hookup.
- Level I supports up to 550 HP; Level II supports up to 650 HP.
- A direct match for GM Connect & Cruise crate engine packages.

Common questions
How do I know it fits my truck?
This part is listed for 1947–1953 Chevy and GMC 3100. The full year, make and model list is in the Truck Compatibility tab on this page. If your truck has been modified, or you are between two of the year ranges we list, send us the year, make and model and we will confirm the fit before you order rather than after.
What if it is not right for the truck?
You have 30 days from delivery to request a return. The part needs to come back new, uninstalled and in its original packaging - once a part has been trimmed or welded it cannot go back. Return shipping is at your cost, and we ask that returns come by USPS. Made-to-order, sale and clearance items are final sale. The full terms are on our returns page.
Can I install this myself?
It is designed for an at-home install. Read the fitment notes and the Installation tab on this page before you start for anything that needs drilling, trimming or welding, and where an installation guide or video exists for the part it is linked there.
