Check all the rules of the bodies you are going to run.

Per NHRA rules, if you have a cell in the car you'll need to cover it up no matter what.

Yea that works, but thicknesses have to be proper. It's all in the book, there is a thread on here about 3 years old that showed a few pics of how people did it. I did it with a 5 gallon, and would never do it that way again. Which is why you don't have tin knockers work on cars lol

Post pics if you need more help.

Just put a box around it, or seal it off with a firewall. Much like the backseat of a stock EG, and the cargo cover. That's what I wanted but got this massive, odd shaped turd.

HAHA.
Thats the first time I have seen that tank.
I have read everyone talking about it just never seen it.
Thats badass.
I wish I could have one and still run the classes I want to run.
I wonder if I could get away with it? Hmmm....

Almost all sfwd style classes say the cell must be kept in the factory location. This is why we did it like this. It uses the factory fill and factory straps. Its also just a little over 5 gallons. This cell fits everything from 92 and up civics, integras, rsx's etc.
