Re:
3.25.2: Fuel Cell Installation: If you decide to install a fuel cell, it must be securely mounted in a professional manner and must be installed in a safe location where it won't be damaged in an impact or drag on the ground if the car leaves the track. All aftermarket fuel components must use threaded fittings and appropriate hose types, and must include all appropriate racecar-quality vents, valves, and other safety features. Fuel-cell installations will be judged on their overall execution and apparent safety. Cars whose fuel cells do not feature internal foam, a puncture-resistant bladder, and/or metal encasement are considerably more likely to fail tech inspection.
Our fuel cell installation has hard line after the high pressure pump but rubber line to that pump and from a low pressure lift pump. It's been through three Lemons events and some ice racing with no one raising a question about it and no fuel leak issues. Will I be able to run the same setup now?
