Fuel cell interest?

[whowhatwhere]

Jaz tanks FTL.

I would be down for an ATL bladder that fits in the stock tank. (cut open obviously)

e30s greatly benefit from a small surge tank to keep the pressure pump "wet"...

E30 fuel tanks have a lot of hiccup problems, but it is in a nice place for safety and weight distro.

I wonder if it's possible to pack the stock tank with foam? Cut it open and reweld it...?

Or do something like this?

stock fuel tank in an e30 is located better than in trunk fuel cell.

Not sure why you'd want one- the Jaz "fuel cells" I've seen are basically plastic gas cans with foam in them and an -AN fitting or two on top. These are fine for some applications, I have one in my circle-track E21 320i, but if you're gonna put a fuel cell in an E30, better get something like a real ATL fuel cell with a can and a bladder.


I'd feel alot safer with my stock E30 tank nestled snugly in front of the rear subframe.

just regular sized. the 10 gallon cell is like 17x17x? and they are foam filed so the fuel doesnt slosh around

[lifeiskaos]

just regular rectangular size? or custom fit in e30 size?

I wanted to make a thread to gauge the interest on fuel cells for track or DD e30s or any car for that matter.

The company that makes the fuel cells is called Jaz Products. They have two shops local to me and have a great reputation in the racing world around here. They make all different sized fuel tanks from 3 gallons up to 20 gallons. They make 3, 4, 5, 10, 15 and 20 gallon tanks.

Any interest?
