Default Fuel Cell

Just curious if anyone had switched over to a fuel cell? If so where have you placed it/what size/brand etc. We are running enduros with our car and need to carry a larger fuel load in order to be competitive.

I've been running a fuel cell for over a year now and have learned a lot. Search for my posts and you'll find pics.

I suggest you use an in-tank pump inside a collector. Then route the return fitting into the collector. That's critical to avoid starvation.

Last weekend I had no problems finishing a 14 lap SCCA race at Laguna having started with ~5gal in my 12gal Fuel Safe cell.

Very nice, thanks for the info just looked up your other threads. We currently burn right around 10 gallons per hour at Road Atlanta and need to be able to run at least 1:45-2 hours in between stops. Came in second last Friday becuase we had to run a two stop strategy while the winning team was able to do it on just one.
