Things are moving froward with ole Hank and I had one question that I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to.
Section 3.I says in the second sentence, "Plastic fuel lines are not permitted."
My fuel cell and filler setup came from Jaz. The filler cap is a really neat recessed piece, but the hose from it to the tank is a translucent plastic looking material. I'm assuming that I need to trash that hose and replace it with rubber. Any input?
My other question, I'm not too sure about.
I plan on mounting the fuel cell under the car behind the rear differential.
Section 3.I in the seventh or eighth sentence says, "All fuel tanks should be isolated from the drivers compartment..."
Well, to get my car as low as I would like, the rear coil overs come through the floor of the car. So my logic says if the fuel tank is back there and there's two holes in the floor then the tank is not isolated from the drivers compartment. Keep in mind this is a 1951 Henry J, and it has no separate trunk like most other cars.
I'm thinking I wold need to build some sort of cover to keep any fiery unhappiness from reaching me, such as a steel cover, or a fireproof sock around each coil over. Again, any input would be greatly appreciated.
And one last fuel system question.
If I have an electric fuel pump, I know I need an inertia switch, and a separate on/off switch. The thing I am trying to decipher is if a mechanical shut off is required as well.
