I have my fuel cell mounted in the car now. But I need some guidance on the venting. My cell has an outlet on the bottom and 2 fittings on the top. Are these both vents? Can they be tied together? And any special routing needed on the vent lines?


Thanks in advance, Rick

one is the return line for efi, that would be the one with the line going down into the foam. Just cap it off.

Do I need to have foam in the tank? Mine does not have any.

Foam helps to reduce slosh and arrest fire, but it's not essential unless the track rules make it a requirement.

To me, and many sanctioning bodies, a fuel cell has a flexible bladder inside a metal can. The metal can can be punctured and not spill any fuel. Without the bladder it's just a fuel tank.

Thanks Josh, and I understand. Mine is a gas tank. No bladder. :)
