Go to reputable race parts shop Ie Cardwells and look at the plastic fuel cells that are available. Have a sheet metal or alloy box to contain the cell made cut a big square hole in the back of ya car reinforce around the edges out as far as the chassis rails with some light box section and drop the box in. Can be welded or glued in place. If your around Auckland at any time feel free to give me a call and you can check out mine.

Cheers for the replies.
Have spoken to another certifier after the first one was very vague. Have now come up with a design for a cage for my cell, will update with photos when its done.
Next question:
Anyone know where to get some stainless steel 3/8 fuel line from in New Zealand? Wanting to run hard-line from Fuel Pump to Fuel Reg but having no luck on the google.
I assume Hydraulink would sell some and ill call them later but any other ideas
Thanks

I got my 3/8ths S/S line from Sandvik metals in Te Rakua drive Pakuranga. Ask for instrument tube. They sell it by the metre and I got 4 meters worth. It looks really good and has a mirror finish.Karljsw wrote: Next question:

I you need small amounts 100-200mm long I have some left over and will most likely not use it. PM me if you are interested in it
Cheers for the reply's guys.
I want to avoid Alloy hard line as have been advised against using it by friends and reading on-line reviews of alloy hard line don't really fill me with confidence.
Will ring the metal suppliers tomorrow and see what they recommend and charge
