    Hi,

    What is the best way to install a fuel cell in a wagon. Going to take out the stock fuel tank and install a 4 gallon fuel cell. Would a Jaz pro sport fuel cell pass tech inspection? Any ideas are welcomed. Thanks

    Just keep the stock tank, it is good for 9 sec runs. I will ask Bill but I recall there is some changes made. It is a cool factor that you use the stock filler neck.

    I know Jan, but you have to remember i'm going to run efi so i need a new fuel pump/lines ect. Besides would be fun to put the remote battery terminals under the fuel lid.:bglasses:

    I don't think you can install anything inside the wagon, that's why I used the stock tank.
    The cell needs to be separated from the passenger compartment.
    The best location for the cell is in the stock tank location.
    Your battery turn-off must be located on the exterior of the car in plain sight, that's why
    I located the battery in the tire well with the switch on the outside rear quarter.
    Keep us posted on your progress.

    Hi Bill,

    Well i know where to spend some time when winter comes. I have to say that i'm positive how well made the wagon is, my 8 year old son say it's the coolest race car ever and now he and Jan says we need to put a towbar on our 72 Sportwagon so we can use it to tow the race wagon. But you can be sure that i will keep you posted.
