ok...first things first....what exactly is a fuel cell.....and 2 whats the perk about it? ic alot of people talking about it.....and is it usable on the street...sorry for the new guy question of the month

 

Here is a picture of mine, To answer some of your questions, A fuel cell is just a fuel tank. They weigh less, and also are easier to utilize an external fuel pump. And Yes, its usable on the street...lOOk..

 

have you tried to tech that thing yet? What did they say about it being in the cabin?

 

how much did your whole setup run?Also what kinda of parts did you use.I was thinking about building one just curious about what kind of fuel pump i need to use.

 

Nice looking car. But for any NHRA Sport Compact event you'll have to do the following;

1. Fuel cell needs to be isolated from the driver. Either a metal bulkhead/firewall can be fabricated, or you can use a metal box that encloses the cell (this is usually easier).

2. Cell needs vented to the outside. Looks like the fitting is there, just run a line through the floor.

Want you to be ready to race if you come to any NHRA events this year!

These rules also apply at any NHRA or IHRA track, not just an "NHRA event". And for what it's worth, they should also apply on the street. Can't be a good idea to have gasoline (or fumes) that close to the driver. Never know when some drunk is going to run a redlight and slam into you or something, you know?

 

yeah, thanks for the advice, i just kinda threw it together without reading into it, thanks again Jim.
