Hi all
Wasn't sure where to post this, I put it in Vendor section, but it's not really something we MAKE, thought it might garner interest here... With the help of Mike Phillips out in Oregon, we've had Fuel Safe design a fully compliant fuel cell for 914's that fits into the stock tank location and holds 14 gallons vs. the PMS tank that holds only 10. - All fittings come out the top: Pickup (-8), Return (-6), Vent (-6) - Includes level sending unit that works with the stock gauge (slight wiring adjustment needed at the sending unit connection point) - Includes high pressure pump mounted internal to the cell - Capacity of 14 gallons - Fuel Safe bladder and foam inside - Aluminum outer shell Price is $3,495 plus paypal fees and shipping. We are the sole suppliers of this tank. A few pictures below. The cell comes with the tabs you see on the top front and rear to allow for bracketing/clamping. The clamps you see on the front and rear in the pictures are not included, allowing the owner to determine how they would like to secure the unit. Mike drilled holes directly to the front firewall bulkhead and ran bolts through the top tab to secure it. I preferred making clamps that are bolted to the firewall.       |

QUOTE(naro914 @ Oct 21 2015, 11:01 AM)  Here's another picture I took today with a much less 'in your face' FuelSafe logo... I sent my stock tank to Fuel Safe and they converted it to a legal fuel cell for much less money....not as pretty and shiny but functional. Sorry about the lousy photo quality. The tank first had the corners notched to accommodate the camber boxes before being converted to a cell. I think it has a 14+ gal capacity after conversion. This was done about 15 years ago but I sent the tank back to Fuel safe two years age to have the bladder replaced due to age. Bladder replacement was about $1500 as I recall.  |
