Ok, going to try this Fuel Cell out. But it has 3 places for conections. one of the bottom ones for supply. Then bottom or top for return? And do I just want to plug the third?

Just cap the extra with an AN cap. Make sure you vent it. |

Your not going to like that cap. No one seems to listen.  Water and dirt in and gas out, no way around it.Make sure you have a roll over vent for it. |

I would run a line up a frame tube and loop it down and Install a small inline fuel filter on the end to keep dirt out. nitro_mudder wrote: Ok the top port with plastic on it is rollover vent, other 3 are just open. How do i vent it?

Top is return, bottom is outlet, other bottom can be used for supplement fuel supply system for use with big nitrous kit. Put you a 400hp Big Shot on it, then you can use all three ports of your fuelcell.  And Madmike aint joking about that lid. Lets water in. Seen it happen on a buddys drag car when he let his kids wash it  .

 Ive got a pair of these 4 gallon cells for the single seater. I was going to put shower caps on them to keep crap out. Maybe you can duct tape plastic over the cap. |

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-290193/?rtype=10  something like this, mike has posted it a trillion times, everyone and their mother should be aware!! plus those caps that are on it are a royal pain in the ass, the gasket always slips and the caps get stuck, the plastic snaps on the levers, yadda yadda yadda |

Damn Nitro, I guess you're trying to get some bling bling! That is a nice-looking cell, I use a 8-gallon cell and it only has 3 ports in it, I used the top for a vent and the bottom 2 for supply and return. The vent uses a -6an fitting and the bottom 2 uses a -8an fitting, I bought me a new one and it is a natural finish instead of black and I can see how much fuel I have in the cell without worrying about running out, I only ran out one time and it sucks really bad where it happened at too. The cap is a pain sometimes and I modified it to make it easier to remove and added extra gasket to help keep the debris out, I usually only put fuel in it when the buggy is clean and you will also need to run a good in-line filters as well, I have 2 in-line for my supply, one is a 10 micron and the other is a 1 micron, I never had a jet or any carb problems since I ran this setup, make sure you put some shut-off valves for your supply and whatever you are going to use the other port on the bottom for. What pump are you running?? |

I run a cadilac pump of some sorts. This tan has a sending unit so I will end up hooking up a fuel gage
