Just wanted to show off my newly built fuel cell for dat der racecar ;) We had to cut out the t-top well in the trunk to be able to fit it. But it looks awesome, and I'm real happy with how it turned out. It will keep the stock sending unit, and stock fill location. Will hold 25 gallons, perfect for e85 street cars. Bolts to the frame rails. What do you all think?

I know methanol quickly corrodes aluminum. Wouldn't the same be true with ethanol?

very nice tank btw! Are there any internal baffles?

No, Ethanol doesn't seem to corrode the aluminum. It is Hygroscopic though and will attract moisture. That is not much of a problem with a garage kept vehicle though.

That looks badass dude. Excuse my ignorance, but what are the two little nipples on the bottom for?
