Re: Fuel Cell Info Needed

Ditto what he said. i think it's an 18 gallon? it came with pump (in-tank) and sending unit. ultra-professional quality tank. very reasonable price. it's not a true "fuel cell" in that it lacks a rubber bladder - more like an aluminum tank.

amost all fuel cells will mount behind the punpkin/gearbox between the framerails. in most cases it is necessary to hack out the factory rear brace and replace it with a new one ($50 for bolt-in from ECE if you go professional)

the basic principle is quite simple - most tanks will come with "wings" - a flange off of either side to bolt it to the framerail. this setup goes under the bed and you will choose whether you want the filler to be in a position to fill from the bottom of the bed or from the side of the bed. you will need to fabricate the filler. depending on your engine, your tank may need to be vented or not vented.

i had my aluminum cell from FCG (fuelcellguy) coated with Line-X bedliner for an additional $60 or so. here are some pictures:

There are tons of other pictures in my gallery as well. i have lost all momentum with my project and it's just sitting in my garage for now, though.
