4.55 litre per gallon (give or take a tiny bit)

times by 9 so its about 40 or so litres so i would say a similar size to a std nova tank..

IIRC Nova fuel tank is 9.5 gallons. So thats smaller.

Stops fuel slosh and redcues potential tank implosion drastically.

Why do you need a said fuel cell though? Just more hassle and the inside of the car will permenatly stink of fuel :thumb:

Good lad! I agree about the COG being higher and the car stinking of fuel if you run that cell. I'd stick with the standard tank, means you have some room in the back should you need it and more money in your wallet to fill said tank lol
