What Fuel Cell to use???

Well after taking the tank out and everything i come to the realization that the stock FB tank take up all the space under the car.

I have my carter mounted, but it hits the tank when the tank is in.

Also looking up there i wont have many places to mount the panhard bar and tri-link stuff with the stock fuel tank.

I dont car about my spare tire, so i am going to cut the well out, and weld a plate on top.

I want as close as to the stock fb fuel capacity as possibel (if over i dont care just as long as it still give me extra space)

I MUST Retain the external filler!!! No lifting hatch to re-fill!!

Anybody else running a low hung fuel cell?

also must not break the bank!!!

Sounds like you're taking alot of weight out of the car, too. Good move !


In order to keep that weight off and put just a little bit of it back in the center of the car, I recommend the following:
