fpr location nhra legal?

[OH91awd]

so this has been bothering me since shootout. when they came to tech my car they made mention that my fpr shouldn't be mounted to the firewall of the car. he let me run and said to get it fixed over the winter. according to the nhra rule book on a fwd style setup they only mention that it should be on the opposite side of the bellhousing area. ive got a pic of my bay to show where mine sits. would this be ok or do I really need to move it?

note: I do however think I should move my nitrous solenoids to be on the safe side but the regulator I cant see needing moved.

I have seen alot worse! Tech guy to tech guy always brings up different issues! If i was a tech i would personally fail alot of cars from safety things like harness mountings and all kinds of shrapnal dotted around!

The AFPR is fine there, maybe the county is different per event? But they always go on the firewall! Just a bit over! Just check the nhra rules and if its fine print it off! Show them and they will pass you! They cannot argue with the nhra regs

Location: All fuel tanks, lines, pumps, valves, etc. must be
outside of the driver’s compartment and within the confines of
the frame and/or steel body. Cool cans, fuel-distribution blocks,
etc. must be located at least 6 inches forward of the
flywheel/bellhousing area on rear-wheel-drive (RWD) vehicles,
and on opposite side of flywheel/housing area on front-wheel
drive (FWD) vehicles. Fuel pressure gauge isolators, with steel
braided line, may be mounted on firewall.

--------------------
i take this as meaning it just needs to be right (as pictured) of the bellhousing.
you may want to move it and inch or so toward the drivers side just in case the tech inspector wants to be a dick about it.

see that the way im reading it as well. but I was thrown off when he mentioned it. now the fuel solenoid for the nitrous I can understand needing moved as its pretty much in the line of fire if something comes out the bellhousing. I might just do what you said and move it over just a bit
