ok whats up everyone this is my first time ever doin a fuel cell and as of right now its crunch time i have 12 days to get a fuel cell, install it, get my car tuned and then go test it all before ASB on the 19th.....reason im doing a fuel cell is because ive already broken 2 stock fuel tanks in my car so its just a waste of time and figured this should be a better route in the long run

so my main question is what setup do i go with?? using it for drifting, strictly a track car and i haven't had any luck finding anything locally yet but still on the lookout. The only thing ive really seen and read good stuff about was a aeromotive fuel cell setups looking at this one specifically since im going to be running e85

Aeromotive*|*18666 - 6g A1000 Stealth Fuel Cell

the only thing i dont like about this is that its a good amount of $$$$$$ but it seems to have everything i need just needa hook up the fuel lines and your good to go

do you guys think ill need something bigger then a 6 gallon? i figured that should be good and ill just keep some gas on me at all times or should i go with a 10 or 12 gallon?? im thinking more for the weight ratio instead of me having to fill up more or less depending on the size of the cell i dont mind that

also what are the mandatory things in a fuel cell for using it for drifting? cause i know there are a few different kind of setups you can choose from

hopefully that all made sense to someone and they can give me some helpful advice or show me some other better cheaper fuel cells

thanks

been doing more research and i guess it comes down to 3 companys aeromotive, ATL, FUEL SAFE anyone know which is better or easiest to work with? also does it matter having a sump fuel cell or no?

I personally will be getting an Aeromotive setup, but I recommend you get a 10-15 gallon tank unless this car will never see a public road. Sure weight reduction helps but you arn't going to notice an extra 20-30 lbs when sliding a 2800 lbs. car. You said you will keep extra fuel with you anyways, so you might as well have it in the tank already.

Sump is good as a fail safe. Sliding side to side will also make liquids do the same. Sumps help combat starvation which if you're running low on gas, you may run into that issue. It's not 100% necessary but if you have the spare funds laying around, it's not a bad thing to have.
