Another Quick update, In order to make the car safer (decrease the risk of a fire) I have decided to remove the single skin aluminum tank that Ryan had made and replace with a new fully FIA approved ATL fuel cell. I have gone for the 40ltr Saver Cell with internal twin pump collector and the official ATL Fuel cell container. I am going to install the two Walbro 255 pumps in the internal collector and have the Bosch 044 as the main push pump for the rail.

 

So far I have removed the tank as I am just waiting for these parts to arrive from ATL.

 

Here is the Old tank and fuel setup

Pumps and Fuel lines removed

Ready for Fuel cell cage to be welded in.

Looks like 1 of those tool chests for the back of a van:), high quality by the looks though,do they custom build them?

 

Yeah lol it does, it will be sat down in the recess where the old tank was though and it will be covered by firewall as well so you wont get to see it much.

I am astounded by the quality to be honest (well it should be good for the price lol) I am happy knowing though that in a crash I am not going to burst into flames.

 

ATL do custom stuff but it is expensive, they dont just do motorsport and fuel but a whole host of different applications.

Will be making some mounts this afternoon to make the tank nice and level in the car, then I can paint the cage, pop heat reflection tape on the underside of the tank container.

Added some heat reflective tape to the underside of the tank container.

I also added some spacers on the tank cage but I didn't get a picture of that.

Just need to weld the cage into the car, paint it and then I can get on with getting the fuel system back together :)
