will be going fuel cell on mine aswel!

[zerocool]

who made the fuel cell,or where dod you get it ?

I have a tank in the boot but have no pictures of it at the minute. It was custom made by the previous owner so all l i can say is make sure you get a decent one that is foam filled/baffled etc and is mounted correct so your pump isnt getting starved when cornering. Mines wasnt made great and is a pain in the arse, it has to be filled up above roughly a third all the time so the pick up is constantly fed. A swirl pot would also help combat this too.

Got a 20l one that I don't need. PM if intersested.

Alloyraceproducts (www.cdh-uk.com) can make you one of these and a swirl pot



I have an ATL Saver Cell with two pumps and a swirl pot. No problems with fuel starvation.

@Shorty: the Alloy race products link doesn't work

I'm looking at getting one custom made by a company localy called N&N engineering componants. They make the fuel tanks for the Farbio's and are a very clever couple of guys.

What sort of pump will I need?

I'm looking at doing something like this one:



That has twin pumps and the swirl pot.

hi zerocool i was the one the made the spare wheel tank for the touring, they are designed to bolt in, as in the picture. they are baffled and foam filled, and use the oem bmw sender unit. its the same as the one shorty posted up. i can also make custom ones to customer requirements. hope this is of some help.

Hi alloy products, I can't get on your website

How much do you charge for the cylindrical tanks?

[fuzzy]

this is the one i had in my celica....twin pumps, low pressure and swirl pot beside the tank
and high pressure pump under the floor...a plumbed in fire system to spray foam on the tank is a good idea just in case.

Did you really have a celica before fuzzy, i've never seen it before.

Hi Nigel, Hope you had a good Xmas. CDH link doesn't seem to be working mate.

[oldroydsr4]

the CDH work is absolutely flawless and considering the skills and time required to produce their items the prices are great. There is also a range of catch tanks that are very good and a real necessity if your making a track car.
