Iam thinking of installing fuel cell.The top of my tank is leaky.I would install the tank between front tires.I would think it should handle better with lower center of gravity.Maybe front tires bit harder?
Any input would b great. Thanks |

I've been using my 15 gallon FS ProCell since 1999. Time now to brake open, inspect everything and replace the pickup filter and line. One correction though...
There actually are sending unit's that are either matched up to your Porsche fuel gauge, or whichever gauge you have or buy at the same time. In fact you can get a full sweep sending unit or one that simply tells you when you're getting low on fuel via a light on your dash. Mine is a compromise street/track car though, and I accept the loss of the front trunk... but that's probably because I still have the rear trunk to fall back on. That said, you can cut the firewall between the trunk and the original tank area and locate the cell farther back. I cut a slot in my bulkhead to allow the cell to snuggle back flush with the bulkhead without removing it completely. That way I still have the strength it provides and I can mount stuff to it. You can see the passenger side of the slot in the first picture just to the left of the hood outlet, and how the cell fits into it in the second underneath the fuel pump/filter. Get's me about an inch and a half at the front of the trunk that I needed for the oil cooler outlet. The third pic shows the filler plate complete with a sending unit beside the filler cap. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
