fuel cell question

L79racer · 07-10-2008, 10:06 PM

If you have a hatch back car and have a fuel cell mounted under the car but the filler neck is in the hatch area, do you have to have a barrier separating the cell from the front of the car?

I would put one in there anyway. Regardless of what the rules say. And get rid of the rubber hoses.

Have a sheet metal box built to cover the filler neck and vent tube. Use a piano hinge on one end and dzus fasteners on the other. Use weatherstripping to seal the box.
Send me your e-mail and I'll send pictures of my setup.

I think I have a box with a door I can convert to cover it up. I would like to yours also. Here is my email address. L79racer@aol.com Thanks, Vinny

Those are the battery cables in the picture.
