fuel cell in trunk
« on: December 05, 2007, 12:21:12 PM »

What are the rules on putting the fuel cell in the trunk of the car for drag racing. How thick was the aluminum you use to seal  the trunk form the drive. Also any pics in a fastback

I used some fairly thin(sorry can't remember the thickness) aluminum for the  block off from the trunk area,never had any tech guys question the thickness of it,and i cut out the spare tire area for the cell to be mounted.

If I remember correctly it was a minimum of 0.030". I'm in a B body so my pic's won't be of much use but here it is just in case.
