I've searched and sifted through a couple random threads, but nothing dedicated to JUST pictures and specs of peoples fuel cell, sumped stock tanks, surge tank set-ups, etc.!

With that being said, POST 'EM UP!!!

Thanks,

I'd REALLY like to see some fuel set-ups in an FC chassis(since this is what I have). I'm interested in what sort of bulk head or "firewall" have been built to divide fuel area from driver.

Obviously not my car, but I would like to have a simple set-up like this.

Falken Drift IS350


or...

This CRAZY time-attack Holden

Mine's not exciting; sheet of aluminum over the cell:


Pump and filter under LR corner:


This will probably get a re-work and we'll go with an internal surge tank, but we'll see.

Pump is a Bosch 044. The lid is just a simple piece of Al with some hinges and a dzus fastener.
