Glad I asked. Im thinking of getting the 12 gallon but based on your set-up, it may take up the entire trunk.

Yeah, it fills up fast. The 10 gallon is 17x17x9.

I installed a 16 gallon in the GLC. It's like an RX-3.

The first pic is the fuel cell right after I modified the sender to work with the stock fuel guage.


Here's the fuel cell installed in the spare tire well.

wow, lots of nice set-up. thanks all. now its decision time. Turbo or no turbo in my 75 RX-3, I need to get a fuel cell as it will cost more to get the orig tank clean and re-seal.

It's a small price to pay for one hell of a ride.


I would definitely have to say turbo all the way wackyracer.

I got all the parts already to go turbo except Im cant make up my mind on which car to do it on. 73, 75 or 1st gen (about 50% since its heavier and stable on top end). Too many choices gives me a headache
