waynekarnes Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 relocating battery to rear of car. want battery to set down, top flush with cargo floor. my buddy wants to remove the gas tank, leave the spare tire well as is, and notch the gas tank to clear the battery box. i'm thinking this will leave me with a 12 gallon tank ... i don't think i want that. am thinking a fuel cell, with filler neck to stock location, with a mrs. bitsi style flip aluminum lid, replacing the stock gas door. 16 gallon like in Tim'Z. at rio i didn't take any pix of Dan's set up. DRATS !! was checking out the blue oval set up, out the hatch. cool idea, can't steal it, have stock latch button, and want to use a spoiler. so, again, thinking, 16 gallon fuel cell, filler hose ( solid metal tube to the tank, to a neck at the stock filler location. someone suggested, to the lic plate location, use a fold down off an older chevelle ect. cap behind the plate. someone else shot that down, said not enough angle, fuel sloshes out the cap, or air gets trapped trouble filling the tank. i like the idea of behind the license plate and shaving the factory door. any pix or thoughts ??? also ... foam filled tank vs. no foam ... venting to the stock charcoal canister, an issue ? from the pix, most of teh fuel cells seem to vent out the top of the tank, no hard lines to hook a hose to, or me not seeing it correctly. if can't post pix here, please send pix to me wkarnes@pacbell.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jake Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I'm looking for the same answers. Seems like it's a big secret! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagz Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Here are some pics from Eric Neyerlin's site of Dan's setup in progress: http://zparts.com/showcase/djudayv8proj/shoot1/index.htm I believe he used a Suzuki Samuri tank and kept the stock filler location. I am using a 20gal foam-filled aluminum cell from Summit. I'm not sure if I'll run a filler tube or not since, I'm building a Velo Rossa and will have a trunk that will separate the filler from the passenger area: http://marcsgarage.net/gallery/FuelCell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
