Topic: Some clarification on fuel cell rules
Think this way: Stock tank in stock location or high quality fuel cell that is well engineered and well installed...
I've had a ton of e-mails in the last few days
One went something like this:
We have this cell that we need to install, its an aluminum baffled unit with no names or info on it, can we install it like so??? The like so isn't important here... I asked them to send pics of the cell and a diagram of the install ( a standard reply on my part: take note) and noted that a baffled tank without a bladder of some sort isn't a fuel cell. Does it have a bladder?
Nope, no bladder. I replied, then you don't have a fuel cell, just a tank, and not being a stock tank, it won't fly. With no mfg, no bladder, no nothing...all they have is a random tank welded up by some random guy. It is not going to run in Lemons.
Similarly: a car showed up at my shop for a roll cage (a very cool car) and it had a stock tank from a completely different car mounted in a sorta stock location.. nope, won't fly... need the stock tank in stock location or a cell....
Its pretty simple. But If you have questions, please ask before spending time and money on crap that won't pass tech..
