| Post subject: | Fuel Cell instal - '62 Lancer |
Refit the trunk floor of my '62 to flat. Opened up new floor 18.25" X 18.25" for the fuel cell and dropped it in. Fastened it down with Fuel Cell's screws. ISSUE? I have what is called an OIL CANNING effect. Rear of Cell is too close to rear/valance/floor to move  but front has too much flat area? Empty, I can pull up & down on the Cell and it moves too much on the front end.  Should I cross brace (1" X 1" X 1/8" angle) rail to rail  or is this of no real concern?? Thanks Terry |

Not exactly sure what you're getting at, but you would be better off with some support under it. I am reading that you just cut out the trunk floor? If so, you will need a sheet metal guard under the tank to be legal anyway. The cell can not hang down unprotected.

It came with an outer shell/housing from the MFG.. I checked with Tech. Guy at Milan 2 weeks ago (brought the complete cell with me) and he said too many guys were buying the Fuel Cells without a case, Just the firm wall plactic bladder, so they put the Sheet Metal Guard rule in place. The full case this cell has fulfills that requirement. I installed the support last night. Nice and secure. Thanks, Terry |

| Post subject: | One more question (This Week) |
This cell has the roll over valve/vent, outlet and filler head attached. I intended in using 3/8" fuel line from here to the Blue pump then up to the front. This tank has 1/2" - #8 fittings coming out. I have no way of doing my Blue pump in 1/2". No problem reducing it down? The outlets are #8 JIC too...... The best way to route the VENT is _____ ??  Thanks again, Terry |
