I havent come up with a bracket yet but I have a few ideas of what I want it to look like . I used to weld at a local manufacturing plant here in town and they have a laser cutter and cnc bender that I will probably use to make the bracket. Should come out pretty nice

lol. it'd be one hell of a beer bong i'd say.

what's the capacity on that thing?

oh and ive always wondered this... do people call them fuel cells becuase it sounds smaller than "fuel tank?" i dont really get it...

where exactly are you intending to mount it? What is the capacity, and what kind of fuel pump are you using with it?

The capacity of the tank is approximately 1.5 gallons and it will be mounted in the front right hand corner of the vehicle. I threw in some pics of the intercooler that we will be using also.

Thats looks awesome. Did you have to go by any rules for your local racing class to create that? Also as I stated before, what kind of fuel pump will you be using?

Also, I went to that website and looked up the hemispheres. What kind of aluminum and where did you get it from, did you use for the cylinder portion of the cell? Also, Where did you get the cap and the bottom fittings too:D

I'm debating creating a race car and I'd like to know where to get the stuff at.
