Fuel cell size?
What are most of you running for a fuel cell size in your cars?
I am looking to implement it into my CAD model, so the frame accounts for the cell and mounting needed.

I'm running a 12 gallon, but in retrospect should have probably got the 16 gallon. At 7-8mpg, the range is pretty limited...

I designed the tank for Bad Ast to hold 25 gallons. Like Keith said I think 16 would be a minimum.
Of course with gas prices going the way they are I'll never be able to afford to fill it up anyway... Sum Bitches...Mark:

Think it depends on application. If you get 10 MPG and like or need to drive long distances, an 8 gallon may not be for you. If you get 15 MPG and only cruise on Friday night, you may be able to get away with an 8 gallon.
