Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread

Todays installment is all about fuel cells. I think I mentioned before that I ditched the stock tank and went with a fuel cell. This time around instead of mounting it on the trunk floor I wanted the cell mounted below the floor, but, I did not want it visible below the lower body line of the quarter panels from the side. That was going to take a pretty shallow cell. After some searching online I found an aluminum Jazz 17 gal cell only 7 inches deep. Although it does not have a sump, which I wish it did, I figured I could make it work. I found an Ebay auction and picked up a new one for quite a bit under retail + free shipping. Can you tell yet that I like to pinch pennies? It came with pickup fitting, return fitting, roll over valve/vent, fuel sender and a 12 bolt filler neck. The filler neck did not have a flapper valve to prevent fuel from draining back through the fill pipe in the event of a roll over, which I deem a necessity, but the 12 bolt neck is easily replaced with one that is so equipped.
