My latest bit of work was to start fitting the 20ltr fuel cell. Very impressed how light this actually is. It has a built in swirl pot and foam filled which will stop any surge.
There was s few reasons for going with the fuel cell, but the main reason is always to save weight. As I want to do a full flat floor, “as much as possible” removing the oem tank let’s me run a tidy side exit exhaust which will move up nicely under the flat floor. Side exit is something I always wanted to do but I knew the fuel tank needed to go first.
This is the location I’ll be fitting the tank. I’m keeping it on the passenger side and as far forward as possible for better weight distribution.
Location marked out so time to start cutting..
Hello floor
Final cutting done and profile all edges. You can see the extra cuts for the swirl pot and line connectors.
Very happy with the fitment now. Before I fix this in place I’ll be getting under the car to give it some TLC.
I have been building and racing this car for near 4 years now so it’s well due. This car has very little rust but done areas have surface rust. I’ll clean everything very well and coat all areas with a suitable gunk!
Of course I’ll eventually have to build a fire wall around all this when finished.
