Default Anybody running a fuel cell in their EG civic? I got a few questions

I'd like to see pics if you don't mind.

I was also wondering how much weight do they save. I was told a VX civic gas tank weighs 55 lbs... empty... that seems kind of high to me. I was also told a fuel cell weighs like 10 lbs. I'm interested in this mod to cut down weight, but if my info is wrong, I'd like to know.

TIA

How big, where are you mounting it, are you racing with it, what class, etc..?

Looking to mount it in the spare tire well. I do not do sancitoned drag racing yet... maybe you could tell me what not to do in order to disqualify myself from any classes.
