Why exactly do you want to use a fuel cell then? Good luck with that, let us know how it works out for you.

Why do you want to use a fuel cell? Save weight? Replace a rusty stock tank? Run bigger fuel lines/external pump?

Most people run a small fuel cell for weight savings and know how much fuel they need to get through the burnout (non AWD guys), down the 1/4, and back to the pits.

If you're looking to run bigger lines, try sumping the stock tank. It's cheaper and easier.

The ATL makes a surge tank for internal fuel pumps. Take look at part cfd-600-hp. It's very expensive but can give one ideas.

Also, they do make different style filler necks.

As mentioned previously, bladder style cells are safer as they reduce chance of fuel spilling during or after an accident.

Good luck on your projects.

I'm curious, what does one of the atl cells run?

The ATL cells have an internal bladder, does the NHRA exempt you from having a firewall to block off the passenger compartment.

I talked to my machinist about sumping my stock fuel tank. He would not touch the job unless I purchased a new tank. I do not know if he was just being a pain, but he had a problem with welding on a used gas tank.

Sumping the stock tank will be cheaper.
