    Any ideas on how to know how much fuel I have in my tank without an oem gauge?

    I want to keep oem tank but don't want to have the hassle of never knowing what is in it.
    I'm sure there are gauges out there you can make work. I'm on my phone so don't feel like searching around on it Atm but I'm sure a Google search of "aftermarket fuel gauge e30" or similar keywords will give you some results.

                  Your gonna get fuel slosh and upset balance.

                  The trunk is a crumple zone, without a lot of reinforcement it's simply not safe. It's been proven time and time again the stock location for the tank is the best.

                  But............you also have knotheads like me that do crazy stuff to their chassis before talking to people like you and now.....are going with a cell because I had to much fun with a grinder and welder.

                  I will say for fuel slosh, I ordered a cell that is foam filled to eliminate the majority of it, and I kept the tank on the smaller side as well. I also opted with the rear drop sump setup. As far a crumple zone, I have a few ideas.....you know because of the grinders and welders I have access to to beef up the area for added protection.

                  We all know that Unloadedak will be staring at my tail panel a lot so we got to protect ourselves from his possible over zealous antics.......


                  I think a switch panel like this makes sense if that car has been stripped to nothing, why spend the extra time tossing wires back in that you;re not going to need.

                    Cells with foam can still slosh.
                    Pickup basket still has to physically have enough fuel inside for the pump to suck up.

                    If one desires 0 fuel surge then a surge tank is needed.

                    FIA rated full cell (fuelsafe) will be safest for impact; external pumps die faster than internal but are faster to change.
