Re: fuel cell

Im putting one in right now. I baught a 12 gallon Jaz with a sump. I cut a squar hole in the front of the luggage compartment and put it in so the top of the cell is about a in below the sheet metal on top of the carms axel thats flat. And im using angle iron going from side to side on the car to make every ting sterday. I havnt decided on what Im doing for a fire wall yet either.. Does that fuel cell have a sending unit?

Re: fuel cell

i have the rci one and it will not fit in the luggage compartment without modification. ie cutting and welding. the bottom is smaller then the top of the compartment so the fuel cell starts to go in fine then it will stop about halfway.
