I have just installed a fuel cell in my 82 camaro but have found out that it can not be in the drivers compartment. It is currently located in the very rear of the car and I was looking for some advice. I was told I could make a sealed box to put it in or I could fab a firewall that sealed against the glass. Please post comments of pics if you have as this is the finale piece before we can make a pass.
Thanks,
SMM

 

My old system when I had a fuel cell in the rear.

 

im in the process of doing the same thing myself and i was planning on doing just what you have done stephen, looks good. only difference is i have the RCI 15 gallon street rod cell. hope it turns out well

 

did you find out about what you could do about where u have it mounted, i am in the process of building my 92 camaro and have installed the rci 16 gallon in the rear on that flat deck in between the two rear bars on that picture u posted. i hope they dont make me seal of the rear half of the car.

 

if you are going to take it to a track im pretty sure they are gonna want a firewall between you and the cell. i havent had mine to the track with the fuel cell in it yet but im going to put a firewall between us anyway. stephen can probably back me up on this. its probably a good idea to have one even if its just a street car with a cell.

 

You are going to need to block it off. I had made a metal cover that slid right over the cell and they passed me at a couple different tracks. I drilled a hole in the cover for the vent and was ready to go. Plus its just safer.

 

well i guess i will have to block off the back half, from where the back seats rest on the vertical to the roof ever seen anything like that. and what material would be best for a mod like that.

 

get a rule book! it has the specs you need for a firewall.
