Project Fuel Cell In Motion!!!

ok over the next Few Weeks, Depending on weather I am In the process of Fabing a Fuel Cell into My car.

The Fuel Cell I am using is a Jaz 12gal w/sender and 2" sump.

THIS IS THE IHRA & NHRA REGULATIONS ON THIS

Code:

When permitted by class regulations, fuel tanks located outside 
body and/or frame must be enclosed in a steel tube frame constructed 
of minimum 1 1/4-inch O.D. x .065 chrome moly or .118 mild-steel tubing. 
All fuel tanks must be isolated from the driver's compartment by a firewall,
 Steel must be .025 Aluminum .032
completely sealed to prevent any fuel from entering the driver's 
compartment. All fuel tanks must have a pressure cap and be vented 
outside of car body. A positive-locking screw on fuel-tank cap is
mandatory on all cars. Insulated fuel tanks prohibited. When used, fuel 
cells must have a metal box protecting the part of the fuel cell that is 
outside of body lines or trunk floor, excluding hose-connection area in 
rear. Non-metallic  fuel cells or tanks must be grounded to frame.

I am in the process of Fabricating the Sheet Metal Box, I already Created Templates for the box out of Poster Board, Just need to Trace them on to .025 Sheet Metal and A few Cuts and Bends Later I will be ready to Start Welding the Box. I will Keep You updated with Pics Comming soon
