Anyone have pics of their fuel cell mounted with dual pumps, and maybe a surge tank. I've got a Fuelsafe cell and I'm figuring out which way I want to go with it. Internal /External pumps, Hardlines / Braided , Surge tank or no? This is a 20B single. with twin 044's and a parallel fuel rail setup for mostly street driving, but the occasional hard weekend track days (hence the surge tank)

 

Internal surge tanks

Thanks for the link. But I was thinking more along the lines of what other forum members have done with their fuel cells. The surge tank is just something I know I'll want. Here is an example of what I'm talking about.

 

As long as you put a firewall separating that surge tank from the rest of the cabin your good to go.

 

Anyone else have pics they could share. or opinions on internal vs external pumps or internal vs. external surge tanks. I know there are alot of road racers out there.

 

You'll probably have better luck looking at some of the race car builds in the Race Car Tech section. Fuel cells are not a standard mod that most owners perform.

I have a built in surge tank, all it is , is an internal "box" with a trap door flap to stop fuel from rushing out when pitching the car away from the corner the "box" ( pick up side) is located was how I had it explained to me. Remember, a fuel cell, has foam in it, which slows down the slosh anyhow. My tank is 15 gal enduro cell, with cheap dual inline external pumps mounted in the trunk bay side pocket under my bulk head I call a piece of aluminum.
My set up is very SCCA legal, and it draws alot of ooooh's and ahhhh's when I go through my annual tech inspection. Fuel cells are very safe, yet one time I hit a guy at full tilt, who ran into my line after a spin , I clocked this BMW 2002 @ about 80 and punched the rear tail lamps into the trunk about 4 feet, and he did NOT have a cell. yet there was no explosion/fire what so ever, ...a litttle gas leaked onto the ground as I remember, that's all, thank God!!!
Well that and it took 11 months of hard work to re-build my 2nd gen hot rod.
I don't know how to post pics here but I could send some email I know, if you want??

I have my fuel cell sitting in my living room waiting for the weather to cooperate so i can get it installed, I'll post some pics when i get something done.
