I have been a busy little elf, filling in my week off with a little bit of work, tying up some loose ends really. All pics are taken, straight after it has been welded, no cleaning at all Custom Fuel Cell - with internal pumps on custom mounts, completely baffled, rear extension acting as internal surge tank/extra baffling, removable lid for access to pumps, fuel level sender and filler lid along with return and one way valve to be fitted. It holds some 63'ish litres. Will be coming back with the car for custom made mounts, not your average square tube.....just the norm is not good enough for this kind of work and ignore the Nissan bolts, they are being replaced with Stainless steel, button head screws....in my opinion, it's the little touches that make all the difference Catch can to sit on chassis rail in engine bay - internally baffled Aain, not your average mounting bracket. Admittedly, nothing special, but not just some sheetmetal with a 90deg bend in it. Undercar surge tank - complete with twin fuel pump bracket....ooops, I'll have pics tomorrow, didn't realise I didn't take any of it today. Happy welding, Ariel Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

That fuel cell looks great, what are the prices of those again? around the 700 mark from memory?

Haha x2++ I spent around 4 days making this tank. Around 6-8 hours of welding and the rest was the design and fabrication. Internally, these are more detailed then any manifold you'll see. Considering there is no need for a surge tank and all the lines and fittings that go with it, its really not that bad.

They are mounted with bolts through the floor and screw into those two M8 threaded bungs on the top of the surge tank. They sit in the high part of the boot floor in a sedan.....not sure about a wagon but if that part of the floorpan is the same, I would have to say yes. Cheers, Ariel

Better quality pics of the internals of the fuel cell and in car pics (Not quite finished yet, going to cop stainless bolts for the lid and custom brackets) Welding work is second to none! Looks unreal and it hasnt even been polished yet! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
