Fuel cell installation

I just got my 5 gal fuel cell and have a dumb question, Does it matter which way the sump is facing?

Thanks

Well it's not a dumb question, it would make sense to mount it so the sump faces the rear of the car. That way, when you launch, the fuel will go towards the back of the fuel cell and stay in the sump area. I hope I explained that well enough.

Post some pictures of the install if you could.

That's what i figured, the mounting tabs are in the way.

Got another question on installations, can I mount this in a welded box with a removable lid or door instead of putting up a bulkhead and still be legal? if so can the battery be installed next to it?

Thanks
