I can quote about $2000.00 reasons...sweet but pricey..

if autocrossing a plastic Jaz tank should be good. A drag vertical tank with about 2-5 gals would be the ticket.....If a street car that would be a little short... I ran a 12 gal fuel cell with a 6.....about 40-50mins of track time maybe more, I found out my old one was defective. I would go 15 gal if enduro's were in the future...

fuel safe/atl flexable bladder steel can $600-700
RCI/ Jaz steel can with hard bladder $200
small plastic jaz tank $100

The Patrick cell is the best since it goes in the stock location and you do not have to cut the bulkhead to get one in. The cell has to be in a steel can if you are going to do any kind of wheel to wheel racing and have an approved bladder (I.E. Fuel Safe, etc)

This is not a fuel cell, but a foamed tank. It's 5 gallons but I usually put less that 4 Galons in it. Around 200 bucks from Summit Racing.

Edit: 149.95...found my Summit catalog
