fuel cell questions

[bdw73]

Hello all, I did the search on installing a fuel cell on here, found some great info on how to set it up, but have a couple questions,
On using the resevoir to feed the stock pump, does anyone know where you may be able to buy one? I do not have the tools or really the welding experience to make one, so was hoping someone may know where to get one?
The other is location question, I run a Rabbit GTI, where is the best place to mount? go as low as I can? as far to the right as I can? ETC
thanks in advance

I got an alum overflow catch "tank" from Sumit Racing, P/N SUM-300101 and added 2 additional fittings to the top.

It's mounted close to the inspection cover hole where the stock tank was. Basically between the cell and the stock pump. You will need a 2nd pump to suck the fuel from cell to the catch tank, so the stock pump will work without too much strain.

Thanks for the PN and info, that will help a lot, so I take it, you mounted your cell further back over the axle? I am kind of stumped a bit on where to exactly mount it.
Also, anyone have any tips on how to build the firwall per se over it?
Sorry for so many questions, fuel cells are very new to me

You can also use the setup from a VW Fox. It's got all the stuff that you need.

My 8 gl cell is in the spare tire well. There have been many previous threads on this, but that location is the "easiest" to install.

Here are some pictures of the cell and cover

Tim,
Can you quickly explain what the three top connections are for? One comes from the cell, one is the return from the cis and the other is???

and the 3rd is back to the cell (overflow).

With all those @ the top, the is always container full.

Thanks for the pics, that will help me a lot, gives me a good idea on what to do.
Do you take the stock accumulator out completely? or do you leave it in the new set up?
thanks again
