Pro's and Cons of Switching to A Fuel Cell

....And just for the record, if I had it to do over again, I would have put a replacement tank in, not a cell.

My car was 95% race car and 5% street car when I put the fuel cell in the trunk. The original tank had a sump welded to it that worked perfectly fine... until rust started coming from inside the tank in enough quantity that I had to clean my fuel filter ever three or four passes... I trailered the car to the track... never needed to use the trunk,so putting an inexpensive plastic cell in the trunk was a fine decision at the time.

Now that I'm looking to put the car back in street mode, I wish I had a stock replacement type tank.

I'm with Randal on this....I would need a much better reason than switching to efi to go with a fuel cell. I don't really see any advantage to a fuel cell for efi anyways, why do you think it would be better?

cheaper than a efi tank to fit a stock local
the one for a 68-72 velle is over 6 bills without the pump /etc
tank only

Hence why I didn't do ANYTHING to my stock tank. Added a return port to the sending unit though from common hardware store supplies. Heck new stock tank for my car is $200 tops. I haven't priced them in a long while though, no rust apparent, the one for my T-bird wasn't much.
