Fuel Cells?

Postby ~XX03GTR~ on Wed Mar 28, 2007 4:11 pm

Hey all,

Just after some info on fuel cells, have done a search on here and google but not turned up much :( .

Basically when i build my car back up i'd like to put a fuel cell in my boot then run the fuel lines inside the car to the engine bay. (sprung and unsprung weight)

I know various places sell them, demon tweeks, pro alloy, etc but they dont really give much info away :-?

Does anybody know exactly what i need to run a fuel cell? any links? any info much appriciated :) .

What exactly do you mean by that? What are you aiming to do here? A lot of people with magazine feature cars like to use a fuel tank mounted in the boot, but in reality, unless it's necessary (e.g. you've converted to RWD and have no room left), all it serves to do is shift the car's centre of gravity higher. You will find out more about them if you call the people who make/supply them, e.g. Pro Alloy.
