Re: fuel cell under the bed
Have 10-an with an 8-return. Running a a1000 with a a1000 regulator. I need to finish up cleaning up the wiring and wash the truck. The cell looks to be leaning a little bit towards the front of the truck, but the sump is still lower than the rest of the tank. I figured if i atleast keep it full when i race, i won't have any issues..

Re: fuel cell under the bed
It looks sweet but I have heard that you don't need to mount those cells by the tabs. You might want to fab up a strap to take the weight off the tabs.

Re: fuel cell under the bed
Looks nice and should run even better, . I'm getting ready to do that pump and regulator setup on my 68. Is there any reason why you ran the pump on the outside of the frame instead of inside? TIA

Re: fuel cell under the bed
I plan on moving it inside the frame rails later. I have all my battery and alternator wiring inside the frame and i need to move a few things around to get the wiring, pump, and fuel pump inside. Also, my exhaust goes up in the frame and would be to close to the fuel pump. For now, it's easy access and hidden unless you look up into the fender well...

Re: fuel cell under the bed
The guy that did most of the work had the cell laying around, and the filler door was on another project truck that he had. I'll give him a call to find out where he found the filler door and the tank....

Re: fuel cell under the bed
the filler door came from unlimited products that was made for a wood floor, but was modified to work on this metal floor. The tank, i believe is a rci 15 gal.
