What are the dimmensions of your existing tank? Where are they placed on the '81 Starlet?

The fuel tank is located in the passenger rear corner next to the spare tire well.As far as dimensions its a 8 or 10 gallon ball of junk even when the thing is empty it ways a ton! I Was thinking of putting the fuel cell in the trunk over the spare tire well(im going to weld it flat)so its got a good place to sit.

Hello Homeboy!
you should post some pictures of the trunk so people can get a better idea!

Also you should start a thread on the build up of your super project!! looking good!!

I detest plastic cells so i got an aluminum one from jegs. It is a 10 gallon cell that measures 17" X 17" X 9" and runs about $200.

Are you going to use the starlet on the street as your daily driver car?? or just racing?? Im using a 4 gallon RCI fuel cell on my starlet but my I only use my starlet to race. If yours is for the street get you a 8 or 12 gallon fuel cell.

Hey man I don't mean to intrude, but you might want to reconsider where you have the fuel pump placed. Aero-motive says that the pumps are very sensitive and prone to breaking if they have to work hard. Aero-motive suggest that you place the fuel pump below the fuel cell so that it can suck and then push the fuel out. Having the fuel pump mid level or higher then the fuel cell causes the pump to work harder to draw fuel to the pump. Having it low just alows the fuel to flow down too the pump and push out with harsh ware and tare on the pump. Just a thought, by bro and my self are running the aero-motive ourself.

If it is for a daily driver and you don't plan on running methanol anytime soon i would highly suggest an aluminium cell. You will also have to have something to separate the cell from the passenger compartment. If i recall correctly NHRA requires a .053" minimum aluminum sheet to separate you from the cell. They also offer the larger cells with fuel level sending units.
