I am going to get a fuel cell to put in the interior of my jeep relatively soon. However I need some input on some different options. I am considering an aluminum tank or a plastic one and I would like some opinions from people on that subject. Also is there any advantage to having a sump instead of a dry (external) pump?

 

That post requires ALOT of typing to fully answer and I just dont have the time or pactience to do so right now.

But I will tell you this

No Plastic please.

Alum will be $$$$$

Look in to the RCI 25gal shorty, it likely will fit behind your rear seat even, I cant confirm though as I have no interior.

A ext pump is Way easier to change, and to buy for.
A Int pump cools better and typically last a bit longer.

In any case if yoru serious, then look in to what the Jeepspeed guys are doing. I did 4 walbro / holley style pickups, one in each corner and tee'd them all together to one #6 line up to the top (inside the cell) and then mounted a 40 micron filter in line before a 2000 pump. Then up a return reg (still in the back) and return line back to the top of cell, and then steel braided loop to the floorboard where theres a bulkhead and then on the bottom of the jeep its all alum 3/8s line then up to the engine bay where it adapts to -6 steelbraid again then to a 100Micron filter and then to the fuel rail.

theres a dangerous start for ya....

 

Or you could just raise the existing tank and save $$$ taking you are looking for more clearance.

 

Yeah...seen a few build threads outlining this common procedure...on here as well as other more 'swarthy' forums...

 

Well this is the one Im looking at getting. Its in my price range

The issue with that cell is that it is purely just a alum tank. The fuel cells I have ran and most I see run are cells that have a bladder inside a steel or alum housing. So if the housing gets hit or splits, the fuel is still contained.

 

I see. I should not have much of a problem with it being damaged though hopefully because I will be putting it in the cargo area and most other stuff will be kept where my rear seat used to be. But thanks for that info
