Wagon fuel cell

Eric Kitzan · 07-31-2010, 10:49 PM

Is it legal to install a fuel cell in a station wagon? I have a 1966 Chevelle Malibu wagon and the current gas tank has a leak, thought while I'am at it might as well put in a cell if I could.

You can recess it into the trunk floor, and hinge your cover, and secure it with winged Dzus buttons or thumb screws.

We mounted our's along with weight box in rear spare tire compartment...used a couple regular Hood pins to hold down. I have seen several wagons with battery boxes and cell mounted in rear in plain sight... I felt better with my kids secured under metal cover.

I just had a 5 gal cell put under the rear floor area in my gremlin.It's an aluminum one with
a trap door to access the filler cap.You need to enclose the overflow where it pertrudes into the car.Legal and safe.

My brother installed a fuel cell in his Malibu wagon. He used an access door kit # 015070 from https://www.appliedracing.net/. Also be sure to install a ground strap from the frame to the metal ring around the fuel cell cap , Tech will be looking at that item. Kenney Kelley
