For those with aftermarket fuel cells in your street/strip cars, what size are you running? Any photos would be great as well.
I have a 15 on the street/strip E85 car. Constantly refilling .Thanks guys. I'm trying to decide between a 15 and 20 gallon cell. 20 seems a little big, but the car will see the street.
How much do you drive it on the street? Do you wish you had a 20 gal cell?I have a 15 on the street/strip E85 car. Constantly refilling .
I wouldn’t go less than 20.
Don’t have a picture of it finished but this was as I was figuring stuff out.

i drive it around town. no long distances. If i drove it much more i'd want a 20 gallon for sure. But i'm also E85...which burns a ton more than pump gas.How much do you drive it on the street? Do you wish you had a 20 gal cell?
That's a clean install. I wish I would've recessed my floor pan like that. Makes it really clean.
Is that a 20 gal cell?
Good stuff man. Do you run foam with the E85, or does the ethanol eat it up?i drive it around town. no long distances. If i drove it much more i'd want a 20 gallon for sure. But i'm also E85...which burns a ton more than pump gas.
I took the foam out. for as nasty as E85 is on components, I figured it would turn that to sludge lolGood stuff man. Do you run foam with the E85, or does the ethanol eat it up?
never thought i would see the day when i didn't have to use a fan! i think i turned it on twice all summer.Actually a challenge? Got that right!
I drove a friend's bracket GTX for him, that was using E85, in the summer, in california. Everybody else is trying to cool their car between rounds, I'm idling in the lanes with the fan off, trying to build heat.
Yes. 20 gallon. Thank you. I’d go 30 next time. Then maybe I can make it a 100 miles.How much do you drive it on the street? Do you wish you had a 20 gal cell?

Straps are from RCI same as the tank. Did not put anything between the straps and the tank its bolted pretty solid and doesn't move. I took out the foam in mine as well to get a little more fuel plus don't have to worry about it falling apart and clogging my fuel filters.That looks great! Did you make the straps? How thick are they?
Is there anything between the strapping and cell like rubber or felt? I'm trying to figure out what to use on mine.
No foam. I will not use foam, I’ve read it kinda deteriorates and I’m just not willing to put up with something like that, if it happens.One more question - do you run foam in yours? I'm wondering if they make an ethanol-compatible foam.
