Fuel Cell

[corpusmotorsports]

I've been looking to get rid of my stock fuel tank and replace it with a fuel cell. What gallon should I get?

 

[sled_dog]

depends on your uses and well lots of stuff. I have a 16 gallon cell in my K5. Think its more than enough for a trailer queen. If I have to drive it anywhere it may be a pain but oh well.

Any websites that sell them for decent cost?

www.summitracing.com is about as good as it gets. I got an RCI 16 gallon, with 2" drop sump on the bottom and foam inside for $140. No sending unit but I simply don't care.

Whats the use of the sending unit. Well, what does it do compared to not using one?

costs more money and it hooks to your gas guage. So you can simply look at a guage and know how much gas you have. Me I'm fine climbing in the back and looking in the tank once in a while. Fill it before each trip out and if I drive on the road check it often is all.

Yeah, what sled_dog said. You don't need a gas gauge on a trail rig. It's just more weight.... /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

Okay, good thing I asked because I was going to order one with the sending unit... (not for a while)
