Ok so now I’m starting to think about my fuel system set up, I should probably just made a build thread at this point, but here is what I’m thinking. Either a 15 gal fuel cell or the BBRC fuel take. The fuel cell is almost $300 cheaper so kinda leaning that direction. Any pros and cons of either would be great. Also can I run intank pump in a fuel cell. Also if you know of a fuel system thread build that would be great also, had no luck finding any really besides the Aeromotive kit, I want to do a complete custom setup and I can say I built with all the parts I want. Here is what I’m looking at

My car is fairly hard core street,no heat,slicks,a.r.b.,m/s,m/b. etc.
I would not want a cell in my car (hatch) every fill up,would have the interier stinking of fuel.

So that BBRC fuel tank would be a good choice huh

You may not be old enough to remember the lawsuits that Ford had because of the fuel tank being inside the car. Pintos had a fuel tank in the trunk that was prone to rupture and dousing the inside of the car and its occupants with gasoline. First generation Mustangs had the same problem. The rear trunk floor was part of the fuel tank. Avoid this design at all costs.
