Fuel tank vs fuel cell [Archive] - Zilvia.net Forums

In my opinion, the design of the s14 fuel tank is pretty damn good for a rwd car. The drop in fuel pump sits at a super low point in a very narrowed down part of the tank. It's also made out of plastic and not metal bullshit.

I'm looking to push 600-650 on the new setup (drift) and was definitely upgrading from the setup I had at 450whp, which was stock fuel tank and a walbro 255 with bulkhead fittings at the top running 6an lines with a fuel return

New setup is gonna include a large surge tank and likely a 044 pushing it through.

But what reason do have to swap out to a fuel cell.

I could run a drop in in-tank walbro or aeromotive 400 to supply the surge tank
It sits in a very safe an weigh conscious position
I believe since its plastic it should handle e85 with no problem.
Even though it's a saddle design, it's still seems pretty mindful of a drift setup and the surge tank would pretty much remedy anything that would be a problem.

It's a 100% track car, but unless I'm missing something or mistaken, I can't find a good reason to switch to a cell other then the ease of draining. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
