best bet for a 914 is $$ - Patrick Motorsports carries a converted stock tank setup with a fuel safe bladder, and stock fuel level p/up (original tank becomes the "can"). I think your into that one for about $1700 by the time you have it in your hands, but check their site to be sure.

I considered this, but since I was going full race car / little street, I didn't care about truck space and am running an Autometer 0-90ohm fuel level gauge (Chevy), so I have a standard square cell in mine - about 1/2 the price in the end.

Thats what I was thinking too,

The Jaz cell is only about $150 bucks and I already have the carter pump etc 12 gallon and will fit my space like a square peg. Good to kow the 0-90 ohm reader is the ticket.

Fuel Cell

I have a 10 Gallon JAZ. I'll try and get the deminsions but with some work it is mounted where the original was. Took a little prying and it is a tight fit but it went in. Allows me to keep the weight centered and the trunk space open for an oil cooler.
I found mine used (1 year old) for $85.00 on Craig's list. Metal can, dry break, foam inside. the whole magilla.

Original tank is said to be 62 liters (16 gallon) but i've never been able to put in more than 55 (14.5gal). That or my gage is wrong, and whats the likelyhood of that..LOL.
