WHAT ALL DO I NEED TO DO A RACING FUEL CELL INSTALL IN MY TRUNK?

ok so i know its not 240 related but i need to upgrade my subie and install a racing fuel cell in the trunk yes i did say a racing fuel cell in the trunk of my subie!


ok so i need a list of parts that i will need to do this

so far i found a 16G cell,8AN FITTINGS,FUEL LINE, WHAT PUMP SHOULD I USE? its replacing my old one 3 bolts sanped and now it wont seal so im trashing it and droppping in a cell(cuz the new tank is 800) and i can get a cell for 500 installed so help so i can order the parts.

just need a list of all parts i need to complete this, plus im cutting out the spare hold in the trunk to pop the fuel cell in.

i got a new tank from a local parts store for about 150 bucks. have you checked into that?

Fuel level sensor, maybe gauge too if you can't get it to talk to stock cluster/want to.
Filter/pump/pick up depends on what pump you get.
Filler cap, filler hose, vent hose.
If it's in a coupe, you can just have that sit in the trunk because you'll be able to have a firewall bulkhead behind your rear seat. I would have it a little lower than the existing floor and have a hinged floor with a gas strut like in the BMW X5 (before they cheaped out and removed that as stock equipment).
You'll want heat shielding if you run your exhaust in the stock location.


Other crap too, it's not cheaper than finding a stock tank and replacing it. It's not better either, unless you race in a series requiring it.

if ur still stock, get a walbro 255. i had one w/ the 2jz, and then just recently got another walbro 255. but i am getting rid of both of them for one big boy. lol.
or just use another stock one if you haven't added any power yet..

I think a fuel cell in a daily driver is kind of dumb, The CELL itself might be cheaper, but by the time you pay someone to fab mounts to make the cell fit, and do the proper venting, buying some fittings, and doing new fuel lines (cause if you're taking on a project like this might as well do all new lines/fittings. It is going to get mighty expensive in a big hurry.

^ Agreed. Have fun filling a tank in your trunk every time too. You will spill fuel, I guarantee that.

ahh.

I will almost promise you that the OP didn't calculate the cost of the filler neck installation since it was seemingly cheaper than a different oem tank.

I will almost promise you that hadn't been calculated into the cost of the installation since it was seemingly cheaper than a different oem tank.

Just trying to bring up ideas that may or may not have been thought of.

no please , i actually have fun watching the comments pile up. plus i like the input.

why do you want a fuel cell?

no good natural reason. plus i need a reason to fill the gap in my trunk and in my soul.

Fill the gap in the trunk with a nice Sub, or a sweet strut bar setup like the one Cusco makes that ties in to the floor.

yeah well its on hold for now , im getting fired on monday and starting my new job god willing jan 16 so all projects hault for now. plus just found out im a type2 diabetic ...........aa.yea, lol when it rains my friend it pours. and im staning the the rain alone. honestly , kinda dont bother me , i figures something fucked up was bound to happen.... no big tho.
