5 gallon RCI fuel cell

Post by n33d4sp33d13 »

this fuel call came in the red project colt i bought a half a year ago and since then i have bought located a stock gas tank for it. this fuel cell looks to be about 5 gallons and is in good condition. i figured there is someone out there with a track car or highly prepared auto-x car that coudl use one. if interested just make me an offer. its just taking up room in the garage.

really couldnt tell you what it was used for. i know it does have foam in it as baffeling. so i would assume it would be ok for autocross/road racing.

13 inch by 13 inch and 9 inches tall. there are 2 pickups at the bottom of a sloped surface that then joins into 1 bigger line with a fuel cutoff switch. the return is a black line that goes into the top of the tank. unless you were very low on fuel it would be very hard to slosh it aroudn enough to get fuel starvation
