Fuel Cell Metal Can

Not to re-hash the FIA/SFI/Rotary molded debate...

If I use a fuel cell enclosed in a metal container in the hatch area of my car, does the metal can constitute a "bulkhead" or must the entire hatch area be isolated or closed-off with sheet metal?

Thanks,

Todd
 
I would not say that. I think the tech inspectors will consider the metal can to be part of the cell so the bulkhead should separate that cell from the cabin.
Sorry if I was not clear.
 
Todd, to support what Dick is saying please read rule GCR 9.3.26.1. & GCR 9.3.26.1.a.

If you would continue to use the OEM fuel tank please see rule ITCS 9.1.3.9.E.
 
Thanks everyone for the help.

Considering the T&E involved with a fuel cell , I'm going to repair (seal) my OEM tank. A fuel cell underneath will not be higher than 6" off the ground.
It will require a lot off sheet metal work to move the cell "up" or inside the vehicle.
A weekend with a sealant kit will be a lot easier.

Thanks again,

Todd
