Fuel tank dimensions

I have mine out and could measure it for you, but I won't be able to get to it till probably Monday at best. If no one else has answered by then, I'll do it for you.

No rush. Right now I'm in Melbourne,Fl

Why don't you just put the cell in the front.

I would prefer to buy an off the shelf fuel cell rather than having one custom made.

I don't want to hijack this thread, so please let me know if this is a problem and I can move this to another thread.

I've been looking at fuel cells as well, but I'm having trouble finding something off the shelf that works for me, so I am considering having a tank made and was wondering if anyone has used www.fueltankparts.com? They look to be very reasonably priced.

Thanks!

pvan,

I need a fuel cell that has a bladder and foam in order to comply with tech requirements at various open road races. I did not see those items listed with the company you listed.

I built my own tank on the right side of the car. It also had to be made to go around the custom exhaust I made. I started by welding up a frame using welding rod.

Very impressive.

If you made your own you could make the top removable and you could get a custom fuel cell made.

I am not that good of a welder. Never done aluminum.

If you came up with a frame could you have a local welder weld it up?

That is something to consider.

I went out to measure and came back in all confussed! that is a complicated object to measure.

let me recover, think about how to start and I'll try again

here is the bulk head end

Wow!! I am impressed.

I'll only need the length. I will try to get the largest rectangular tank that will fit within your dimensions. I'm not trying to go for the max configuration.

the other end

and the bottom

Another option is what I've seen in a few race Panteras: TWO separate rectangular cells, one on each side of the engine. The height was about 12" tall. Each held about 10 gallons and the wt & balance of the car was improved. The cells were connected by a 2" fuel-proof hose that ran in front of the engine so the car could be fueled from either side. You don't say but such a rig on a street car could be fitted with two senders and one gauge with a selector switch.

It is taking me longer to "see" and "render" an object.

this aint good but it is a start on a rough model
Note the "top" and back side are missing
