I've looked around but can't seem to find the type of fuel cell I need for my project. Cell needs to be between 10 & 15 gal capacity, rollover/vent, filled w/ foam, sending unit, 6-8AN feed, and a return fitting. RCI/ Summit makes an aluminum type with all these features but I don't like how it mounts. It's for a drag car so it would just sit on top of the trunk floor. I'd like something that mounts like OE, that is, it there's a flange on top of the tank that you mount to the floor so the cell sits down lower. Something like a Fuel Safe cell would be a lot more expensive but I think it's better quality than a plastic or sealed aluminum cell. The only problem with these is I can't find one that has a return line fitting (unless it's a huge 32gal). I did find an option for dual feed lines. Can I use one for a feed & the other for a return? Would this make a big difference in how the system functions?
I'll also be using an external pump, probably a walbro/holley 255lph. How far away should I/ can I mount this from the cell if I go with a top mounted feed. Thanks Rob

www.stockcarproducts.com has a decent selection of fuel cells. they even have a "build it yourself" option where you get all the hardware - bladder, filler, fittings etc. - but without the actual box. you have to build that yourself or have someone build it out of aluminum...

Looks cool. I don't think you have the option of a sending unit with those...

Still curious if I should go for dual feeds & use one as a return. I found a good source for Fuel Safe cells that's about $80 cheaper than most places I've seen. The dimensions for a 12 gallon are perfect for my car.
Also... how should I setup an overflow tank for the fuel system? I'm thinking: From fuel cell: feed>overflow>fuel pump>filter>engine From engine: return>FPR>overflow>fuel cell Thanks Rob |
