rayaapp2 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Fuel Cell time. Im looking at a 16Gal. fuel cell from Summit. I do not like the idea of having the filler neck in the passenger compartment. Id rather have it routed outside that compartment. So Im looking at fast fill valves that I can connect to the stock filler neck tube. My filler neck wont be in the stock location as my fenders do not have provision for the original gas cap door or support for the filler neck assembly. So Im placing it behind the license plate like an old domestic vehicle with a flip down door. My dilemma is that I do not know how the fast fill valve attaches to the fuel cell. I see some that just bolt to the fill door location. Im needing to place the fill valve in a pretty specific sport in order to avoid passenger compartment intrusion. I know Im just being painfully anal about this, but that's what I'm after. I just do not see how some of these valves mount. With the plastic non-bladder cells can I simply cut and bolt the fill valve to the cell? I ask because I assume there is a seal. If its an o-ring or something of that nature the fill valve may only work with a specific cell... I just cannot get a universal answer. If it helps these are the parts Im looking at.

luseboy Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Interested in this as well. I have decided to go the fuel cell route (acctually the exact one you linked) but it would be nice to be able to use the stock filler location. It isn't a deal breaker if I have to open the hatch to fill up, but I'd prefer to use the stock location if possible. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 That RCI fill valve is for a real fuel cell, not the plastic Summit one. The two do not go together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayaapp2 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 About a day after I posted this I spoke with a friend about this and he pointed me in a better direction for the fuel cells. My question is still unanswered, but I am looking into an FIA approved Fuel Safe tank. I have to look it up again, but I believe its the enduro model? Could be wrong, but I made sure it has the FIA approved bladder so its legit on the track. Im trying to stay track friendly as the car moving more towards that than the street car it once was. If that's the case with the fill valve them perhaps I should contact Fuel Safe and see if they make something similar. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
