Cool, I don't think I'll be able to fit this into the stocker location.


My car is going to be more of a ragged edged street car, more of a track car (road racing) so i'm definately going to have to build a firewall if I put it inside the car.

I've been browsing a few other people's fuel cell set ups. Motor City Brandon I think is the guys name, he's got a nice set up.

Yep, if you put it in the car you'll need to make the firewall and all that. Heres the one I have in the stock location:

That's a nice install, but that's one made specifically for our stock location isn't it?


Does anybody know how much the factory fuel tank weighs?

Nah, it's made for our younger LS1 cousins, but with a little bit of work it'll fit in our cars.
