Re: need HELP with fuel cell mounting
i'd rather a stock tank sumped with a -10 fitting on a thirdgen than making all the bulkheads, etc to run a fuel cell not to mention cutting out 70% of the rear floor to make a flat panel for the cell to sit on and then fabricating a rear bulkhead as well.

Re: need HELP with fuel cell mounting
Mount one up front. A different style can also be mounted in the battery area. There's pics in a different thread showing that.

agreed. i would run a sumped stock tank unless you are planning on a back half or something.

Re: need HELP with fuel cell mounting
I ran a stock tank for years with no sump just a fitting in the bottom of it. The tank has a natural sump to it.
