Thread: RCI fuel cells

Tweet

Here's a link to a guy on ebay who has them for sale all the time. http://motors.shop.ebay.com/merchant/rozbwl If you're patient (especially this time of year) you can "win" one for around $150, maybe less if nobody is watching any particular week. You also need to plan on a banding method to mount the tank, RCI says the tabs are only for locating and aren't sturdy enough for safe mounting. 19 gal of fuel is going to be over 100# so in the wrong situation could concievably rip those tabs off.

One member on here, C9x, has one that he had to make some modifications on the fill ring mount to give extra sealing to stop a leak. He posted up a thread with pictures sometime within the past year. You might want to do a search and look it over.

BTW, they don't come with foam in them, so technically they're not a fuel cell until you do that yourself.

If the tank and batt are both vented correctly, mounted firmly, and you don't have any loose connections on the batt to cause sparks it shouldn't be any undue hazard
