sup zig
i got my fuel cell from a drag racing shop 300ish from memory

its a cube shape with 4 mount points so bolt straight to the tray
drop tank would have to be kustom made n imo not the best idea due to speed hump = crunch

im runing a surge tank with a bosch 040 to suck the fuel n a 044 pump to push the fuel all with the hiflow lines or are they called speedie conectors ?? i forget

mounting it im still think wether to go right to the back of the tray to get the kg's over the wheels for traction or hard against the cab to help get kgs in the center of the car ??? but the sr20 is all ready making it front heavey so for me im think hard up agaist the tail gate due to it looks better still think tho

cheers

thanks for the info guys and the pic of the blue tray is awesome thats the finish im after, the fuel cell looks better tucked up against the wall but im thinking for handeling sake i think i will mount it in the rear, maybe even recess it a little into the tray to bring the centre of gravity down a bit as well.

in west oz you must have a tank made by a certified (by dot) fuel tank fabricator.
not sure on bought ones but check first
its possible that both those really nice setups dont meet regs
heres a link to dot regs
