Fuel Cells

[Jeff]

Few questions...
1. Can a fuel cell be rigged to fill from the outside?
2. Can you install a guage sending unit in a cell that dosn't have one?
3. What brand is best?
4. Is a sump better or worse?

Thanks guys, I know you can come up with these answers.

Why do you want a fuel cell?

Its really a race car only item, and requires a boxed structure to mount it to, which should be secured to a welded roll cage, oh and they're really not cheap to properly install.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. ATL or Fuelsafe
4. See above.

For the Omni. It is going to be mounted in the hatch with the sump through the floor. This way I can loose the factory tank (which is heavy I've been told) and I can use a cheaper in-line pump. I'm just gonna run two square pieces of stock under the tire well and use the mount straps that come with it, putting the bolts through the stock for strength. Is that a fire hazard like that? I can't imagine any worse then the factory tank. Whole thing...in there...$275-$325 (pump, cell, intall). One last question for RJ or whoever, is the tube to fill from the outside availible universal or app. specific?

Yes its a fire hazard because it no longer has a bulkhead protecting you from a fuel tank, you cut up the rear floor, lose the back seat, you wont save any weigh unless you go to a small cell which sucks if you drive the car around a lot and filling from the stock tank filler location may not be possible - which means another hole in the body.
