Mounting fuel cell

I just got a 16 gallon fuel cell, and now I'm not sure how to mount it in my car. The rules say it must be mounted out side the drivers compartment, wich would kinda hard in a camaro (IMO). Is anyone else running a cell in their car, looking for ideas. Pctures would be really helpful.

Will it fit down in the rear well? If so you could put it down there and build a cover over it. If not the only thing I could think to do would be to mount it where the stock one is. Either way It's going to take a fair amount of fabrication.

not that hard to seperate it from the driver, just need to fabricate a bulkhead to seal aginst the rear hatch, look at a few cars that already have a cell installed to get an idea

A 16 gal cell is big. I have a 4 gal cell in the back of mine with a rear firewall. I have no idea how you would go mounting a 16 gal cell and keep the filler neck out of the drivers compartment.
