you need a barrier seperating the driver compartment and fuel system area.

yes you can, it just has to have a bulkhead covering it completely from the drivers compartment.

I have to do mine within the next week. I will post pics when it is done. It is sitting right where the back seat on the passenger side would be. It is already plumbed in so I am not moving it, but just building a box over it with a trap door.

Sweet, does it have to be permanently attached or can I get creative with making it work so I can easily get to it? </TD></TR></TABLE>

Just put some kind of door on it so you can put fuel in it. Other than that, mine is going to be pretty permanent.

I have a 5 gallon installed already. The car is ready to roll except that box. I am not really looking forward to it. I have to enclose the whole thing.

My whole floor board is gone around the fuel cell. I have to like reconstruct the whole thing. I didn't have to drill because mine was cut out. Here is what I am talking about, and no I didn't not do this. It was like this when I got it. The only real flaw on the car. I am using a summit 5 gal.



Just looking at it makes me cringe.

I am going to have some tabs welded to my parachute mount to mount the cell, then from there make a box that mounts to the same thing.

Good luck with that though, can't wait to see how it works out!</TD></TR></TABLE>

Haha, thanks. I need some luck on this one. It should be alright, but I wish it was somewhere else. For next season, I am moving it up front when I go to a different turbo setup with a backdoor style intercooler. I will put it infront of the drivers side tire.

Your little setup sounds interesting though.
