The one I use is a Fuelsafe brand... p/n RS122A. They are more expensive, but you get what you pay for when it comes to fuel storage and safety. I built an aluminum enclosure for it, since the vehicle code (when did I ever pay any attention to THAT?!!) states the driver and passenger compartment must be separated from the fuel tank by a metal bulkhead.

your car looks awesome. The rear arms and new power made a huge difference. What is the yellow lite on the roof for?
Collecting parts again... No I'm not going to say why!

The air cleaners get dirty real quick. they pick up dust created by the back tires right there. the new one is going to hold the air cleaners up by the rear windo its going to look sick.

I would think about not having the lower horizontal part of your bumper loop right where the exhaust gasses flow - it looks like the exhaust flow would be split over both sides of that tube. I love the look of that exhaust! Maybe have that part of the cage above the exhaust baffles... just my $.02
