    Don't forget that, at least in any enduro rules I've ever read/used, that the driver has to be out of the car when fueling anyway...

    Someone already started down that road, but I'll continue down it:

    "Why would anyone put a fuel cell in a Miata ?"

    Miata has probably the best located (for safety), best designed tanks of any production vehicle that is raced in IT.

    Any cell will be higher (bad), further rearward (bad bad) and unibody strength will be compromised by installation (bad bad bad...plasma cutters & sawzalls don't yield benefits in structural rigidity).

    Really.

    But that's just my opinion.

    Since original poster mentioned enduros, maybe he needs more tank capacity for longer driving stints? My 240SX only gets about an hour per tank of fuel at speed- that would suck for an enduro!
