Fuel Cell vs Fuel Tank

fuel cells are meant mostly for off road applications - drag racing, baja etc., they are lighter than an OEM gas tank and are considered safer too.. this isn' to say you can't use them for a daily driver - it's just less common. Depending on how big the cell is, yea, you lose your trunk space - if it's an off road vehicle only - so what. Yes, converting back is a "process" as the trunk floor is usually cut up some and extra holes are made - all which must be fixed when converting back to a regular gas tank - - plus, fuel cells typically require aftermarket fuel lines so all that gets changed too. My car has a fuel cell and a trunk mounted battery - OEM trunk floor is essentially gone and replaced with aluminum - she ain't no grocery getter :twisted:.
I have seen cars with a cell fitted inside the spare tire well - which of course saves the trunk floor - save for a few mounting holes and fuel line holes - but those are small cells and are really for off road (racing) as they don't hold enough fuel to go cruising..
