spudly13 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hey so ive been trying to talk to the state patrol and there no help, So if anyone knows the laws and regulations about having a fuel cell inside your daily driver / track car, I would love to know the rules about whats ok and whats not, or if its allowed (ive seen plenty of cars with them but double checking). For example if i am able to put my cell inside my car, do i need an external fill? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I live in washington state if that makes any difference Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search on this topic here on Hybrid Z, and you will find a great deal of information, including those dozen reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanman280z Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Im in WA as well. I do not beleive its against any type of law here in this state atleast. I checked my RCW book and found nothing. Think of it as a street legal sand rail with a modified fuel tank sitting behind the drivers seat. As long as if it has brake lights, turn signals and seat belts, you should be good to go. But as Oddjob said, its not a good idea for a daily driver for many reasons. I am looking at doing the same thing for mine right now. Maybe we can help eachother out with trial and error. I am trying to replace my fuel tank with a cell without cutting anything. Its been done and I have pictures. The cell will have to sit lower in the back and be exposed like the stock tank. But atleast it will be a nice aluminium look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudly13 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Ya, i already have me rear floor/tire well all cut out because im running dual exhaust straight down the middle with battery on one side and i was planning on fuel cell on top, but i think now im going to mock up a tank and build a "fuel cell" to fit on the other side of my exhaust. Im still in the planning stages here but hopefully ill get it all worked out So your building yours to fit under the tire well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
