Relocated Fuel Cell
 
So I am installing a fuel cell under the bed, does this mean I need to have an external safety kill switch sticking out the back?

I believe the kill switch is required with battary relocation only .

Battery relocation is a good idea also!

here's where i relocated my battery. i was told that i can put vasaline or something on the battery and the stainless box, then after i race it i just wipe it off. I put it on the outside of the frame so when i get my stainless tank i won't have to move anything.

Looks nice, but Im not sure about having it exposed to the tire like that....... what is the vaseline for?

what did the track techs think about that? im assuming the low and back is to get perfect weight distribution

Ya, was it fine through tech? So I don't need a kill switch until I move the battery?

it's behind the tire which is safer incase of a leak. Plus i didn't want it inside the bed because i didn't want to drill a hole for a shut off switch through my bed side or tailgate. The vaseline helps with making it easier to clean. I would think you could have more problems through tech with the battery in the stock location because of a leak being right infront of the front tire. But i never had a problem with either.
