View Full Version : Billet Filler question for those with a fuel cell

Please help me with some answers. Since there are so many options for a fuel cell I am trying to decide on how many styles of adapters to make.

Where is your fuel cell located? Recessed through the trunk bottom or sitting in the trunk not recessed?

Are you planning to fill your cell using one of our fillers or will you open your trunk to fill it direct?

If you plan to fill the cell direct and our cap is just for looks? Let me know because I can sell them cheaper if it's non functional.

I'm just guessing but I beleive our cap will NOT work if your cell is not recessed into the trunk. Even if it sits in the spare tire well can you clear the trunk latch and connect it to your fuel cell?

Here is one I mocked up years ago to connect to the stock tank. Don't laugh. Yes it's a muffler pipe and junk from Home Depot to see if I could make it work.

my fuel safe cell is at floor level. a straight barb on the filler would be ideal (for me anyways) as a 45* on the cell would make the perfect angle for it to fill up. a 45* on the filler would also work well.

Do you plan to modify the trunk latch support? Maybe you don't have to I'm just trying to figure it all out.

if its a 45* i won't need to but if its straight then it will need a little triming to clear the hose.

It's through the floor and in my case about 3 inches higher than the floor.

I plan on filling in the trunk. Your cap is cosmetic although I might mount a kill switch behind it.

My fuel cell is flush mounted. Cap is a fake. Anyone who goes to the trouble of flush-mounting a cell can probably modify the cap as required. So I wouldn't sweat it.
