Pics and a parts list would be great. I don't want to waste any money on buying the wrong parts. Any help will do. No problem asking but let us know more about what you need - What class and sanction? For the car in your avatar? Usage? Power level?

Well, after reading the post about having to have a cell for HPDE and my ultimate intensions are to run AI, AIX, I'll need it anyway. If its not a requirement then I will stay with the factory set up. Thanks for all the response. Im very close to getting the car competition ready. Fuel cell and DOM roll cage are left. I have a full ERW from 2000' but with no log book of races to back it up so I assume that needs to come out. Is there a self life on the fuel cell? Like belts, helmet, etc. I've got the fever!

No requirement for a cell in NASA HPDE or AI/X. The OEM fuel tank, IMO, is in a safe location, except for the filler neck. Some OEM tanks/pickups will start starving at just under 1/2 tank, some will go further. IMO the most urgent reason for a cell is if you need more capacity than reworking the OEM pickup can provide: high HP motor at a long National event, or enduro, for example. If you do install a cell, it must be a FIA FT3, and the bladder lifes out at 5yrs.
