Mounting fuel cell for nitrous, need help
I got my new fuel cell that I'm going to use for my nitrous setup. I dont know what I was thinking when I planned it out but I had figured I could mount it flat. Now I have to come up with a way to mount it elevated and at a down ward angle. Here is a picture of the fuel cell and where I want to mount it.

Anyone got any ideas?

Where is the fuel pickup and where is the vent? Or is the cap vented?

It's a 2 quart cell. It's just enough for 1 maybe 2 runs with a 150 shot. I'm going to use a carter, inline, rotary vane, 6 psi pump that flows 72 GPH. Believe the number on it is 4070. I Figure the MAX free flow rate is 72 gph so the following numbers are all high estimates.
72 gallons per hour = 1.2 gallons per minute = .02 gallons per second. Then figure I should run low 12's to high 11's, plus I'm using a window switch which means I won't be flowing the entire time. At 12.5 seconds per run, that's exactly .25 gallons per run or 1 quart. That would technically be enough for 2 runs. I can always upgrade o a bigger cell later.
Edit: The vent is the tube coming out of the top in the back and the outlet is at the front. There is no actual pickup tube. The outlet has a petcock and is slightly sumped but I still need to angle the cell a little.
