I m running a FCS 5 gallon at the back and would like to switch to a 1.9 gallon in front of the car.
Running 2 044 fuel pump.

Do you have any experience of these little fuel cells?
Some pictures ?

I would love to see pictures as well as I have recently acquired a Prayoonto Racing 1.9G fuel cell. Would love to see how folks have routed there lines as well as pump and inline filter placement for a B Series set up.

Heres mine. Its a prayoonto 1.9gallon I got from ipgparts.com. Fit isn't too bad. Some minor cutting up top to fit. and had to make a tab on the car for the cell to bolt to. But otherwise, Im very happy. Saved a bunch of weight even over my FCS 5 gallon.
This is on a B series motor. The first picture shows the fuel line routing from the front of the tank and is on my new chassis (eg6). The second picture is how I have it ran with a bosch 044 pump and aeromotive filter on my old chassis w/old tank, but the fuel pump/filter and mounting is all the same.

Can you post pics of the area you had to cut? I was thinking about getting one of these too

No bumper rebar, I thought you had to run them in AMS?

No. Rules don't say anything about that. Says bumpers cannot be removed, but that refers to the bumper covers.

Ok, my understanding was the rebars as well. Good as I don't have a rear one, I snagged it from the hatch for my Integra when I sold it as the one on it was rusted out.

That small fuel cell would save a bunch of weight from the stock tank, probably something I should look into.

Pumpking.

But NHRA says in rulebook if its mounted outside the frame rail, it needs to be braced (i think same as "rebar" in this case).

Per NHRA

Tanks: When permitted by class regulations, fuel tanks located outside body and/or frame must be enclosed in a steel tube frame constructed of minimum 1 1/4-inch O.D. x .058 chromoly or .118 mild steel tubing.

Yes that may be, but we were talking about class rules. Rules for running AMS.

Here's the best I could get. All I had to do was make the hole a little bigger. Wasn't too bad.

hondaracing84 what type of fuel filter are you running on you setup? Have you chosen a filter that will compatible with multiple fuel types to allow different types of fuel to be used in case you decide to change you fueling choice? Also thanks for being so helpful and posting pictures. Most people just like to polute threads with unhelpful information, so I'm appreciative.

I had problems getting through tech in the past, with this exact rule. Finally made some framework around it to make them happy. They would rather like to see it on the inside of the frame rails. All this to have some level of protection, in the event you crash.

Paul_VR6

If it can't be inside the rail, the *exact* tubing listed or larger will pass tech.

Here are a few pics of mine with the crash bar, passes tech, but they still complain. They really want to see it inside the frame rails for safety reasons

I personally wouldn't mount my fuel cell at the likeliest point of impact...

My fuel cell will likely be a 'spare tire' type auxiliary tank to avoid starvation on the track.

Im using the aeromotive in line filter with the stainless steel cleanable element. That way the filter is compatible with whatever fuel I choose to use. And Ive tried several fuels.

No it doesn't. Even when I have the Nitto extreme drag radials on for the street, no touching. And those tires are 26" tall.
