    What is the flow rate on a stock fuel pump with these Toys? Has anyone purchased a fuel cell?

    I'm using a Venom pump which puts out 10 to 20% more pressure.
    Have a custom made stainless fuel tank using the stock flanges,& filler neck (Ca. smog ).:cool:

    I purchased a fuel cell myself, but i couldnt afford a stainless (RCI) that would fit my needs. So I picked up a Summit cell with a sender, along with a compatible autometer fuel gauge. I hate having to look into the tank just to know how much gas i have. Though if you can pick up & RCI i would recommend it for looks.

    Yes thanks pals:) I accidentally twisted the soft and rusty metal fuel outlet piece, which is on the flange(top of tank). Now I need to make up my mind as to what to do. It seems there are too many worries with a fuel cell, but I need to lift the gas tank definetely. I came up with the idea of shaving the fuel door on the box and getting one on the driver's side. That way I can bring the tank up into the box and behind the cab, keeping room for the notches and new crossmembers and whatnot.;)

    In Ca. you can't use a fuel cell for street,& passing the visual @ smog.
    Stock tanks in the bed just look a Mickey mouse job!
    Just my opinion!:cool:

    I've built a few fuel cell / gas tanks for vehicles that have to be smogged, guess the guys at the smog shops did not notice or maybe they just did not care. And yeah I thinks stock tanks in the bed just look a Mickey mouse hack job too.

    Too many to list.
    I ran a summit aluminum fuel cell in my mini. I put the stock fuel pump assembly into the fuel cell. Then when I put the filler cap for the fuel cell in the bed floor and put the stock filler cap on the fuel cell.
