For street...I don't know. For race, you have to have some sort of "firewall" separating the fuel cell from inside the car.

Yep,

That's a nice setup, but it's going to need a firewall. The firewall can be purchased from Wolf Racecraft.

Here is mine. I do not have a firewall yet, but then again I don't take it to the track, it is mostly just for street. I am still contemplating a removable firewall because of the fumes though. Driving with the windows up is not really an option.

Triangle Engineering is the brand. I sent him dimensions and he custom made it for me. It was pretty cheap and the quality is fantastic. I will have to get dimensions when I get home, but I only make it about 150 miles on the freeway before I need to refuel. I should have went bigger. Oh well.

572ci BBC in the future. Once that is in, it will be going to the track. I was planning ahead. Right now, I just take it to shows.

JP, For some reason I could not email.

www.triangleengineering.com

28w x 21d x 6h

$335.49 including tax & Shipping. The tank sumped and is filled with foam but no baffles. It has 2 fittings on the sump, and one on each side of the top for a return and vent. It also comes with a GM sending unit 0-90 ohm I believe.
