Reply to "Gas Tank In Front"

Matt_M (Guest)

My '71 racecar has a fuel cell that was custom-built to wrap around the car's roll cage that crosses in front on its way to where it ties into the suspension mounts. The cell is pretty small - only about 11 gallons - and I'm REALLY glad that the prior owner paid the design and fabrication costs. Also, mounting the cell in front would probably require that the foot box be removed and the stock pedals and brake and clutch master cylinders moved to remote locations, requiring more costly work. I think that, unless you're planning on racing your car, this is an expensive and complex undertaking. I'm told that some vendors can custom-make fuel cells that fit in the stock location although before starting on that undertaking I'd look into whether it would be legal for vintage racing.
