My swaps never seem to come with a tank. I went to the junkyard and got a honda tank that has one big and one small nipple and cut / rewelded the bracket, and mounted it in the OEM soarer location and mounting tab with a bolt. Total cost $5.

I'm using on of those ebay universal tanks, works fine and mounted it in the location on the shock tower. I had to plug up the extra hole and cut the bracket a bit that it came with to mount. blurry pic

I jammed mine in the far driver's corner of the engine bay. I used a Ford F150 resevoir.

I got the same tank in blue. What intake is that from? I used a 3g eclipse slightly modified.

Yeah I got that idea from you, ebay eclipse intake and cut it a bit. My swap didn't come with the intake.
