Default C4 fuel cell

I want to install a fuel cell in my 96 track car. Any ideas or recommendations?

Thanks

There have been a few threads with pix in C4 tech. I would like to do this project as well but not this year.

I would talk to Chris at Melrose Motorsports, they had a fuel cell set-up for C4's from there World Challange days.

I have the Melrose fuel cell cage and it has taken a couple of good hits and held up. It bolts to the frame and places the fuel cell very low which is good for center of gavity, but limits the use of an rear diffuser.

I have removed it and reinstalled it alone in the garage, but it is a challenge. I strongly recommend an aluminium can for the fuel cell. Mine rusted and had to be replaced. That is why I had the cage out.

I do not see it listed in the 2010 on-line catalog, but Fuel Safe
used to offer a bladder that fit inside a stock C4 fuel tank.

From the 2006 Fuel Safe catalog - pg 6 of 17, bottom right
"Corvette Racing Cells

Fuel Safe’s Corvette Bladder is
engineered and designed to fit
perfectly into your factory OEM
tank. The stock hardware is used
to make re-installation a snap.

SA107A Pro Cell (20 gal.)"
For further information about availability, try contacting FS.
