Does the bulkhead from Wolfe come with that hinged setup or is that something you added? I love it looks amazing. Its really making me reconsider the direction I was going to take as far as fueling is concerned!

It does not come hinged, it's something I made up. 1" aluminum box tubing mounted to floor, then piano hinge mounted to it and the bulkhead

We have a bolt in plastic 5 gal cell that looks just like that. We are also doing a combo water tank and cell for the FI setups.

If possible, I would put the fuel cell in the nose, so you don't have to bother with the bulkhead, and just keep the battery in a plastic box in the back. Alot cheaper to do, as you don't need 1/2 as much fuel line, and someday when the lines need replacing (as they do go bad eventually) it's alot cheaper to do it over..

You wuill be limited in cell size in the nose to 5 gal. Anything bigger will not fit. But as stated in here, if you are adding a cell 5 gal is about all you want anyway. We have sold quite a few bumper supports with a cell mounted.
