    fuel cell recommendation

    so my stock fuel pump went out on my pre-runner. i figure rather then wasting the money to replace it id start shopping for a cell. My wallet is crying already just from looking at fuel safes. Is the cost really justified over a jaz or summit brand? i'm not racing or anything. Just my toy. thanks in advance.

    ATL has some nice economy cells. I think anything with a can and bladder would be fine for most prerunners.

    JAZ fuel cells are a good bang for the buck and you can find them in just about any racing store.

    Re: fuel cell recommendation

    when i was looking for fuel cells summit racing had the best pricing. but i ended up going to kartek to get one. i was going to get a jaz fuel cell with foam and they said they have a lot of trouble with the jaz with foam. they said the foam comes apart a few years. i end up going with a fuel safe one but it was very expensive. my brother has the summit aluminum fuel cell in has baja bug and doesn't have any problems at all.

    Harmon racing makes cells that are less than Fuel Safe's but they're on par for quality. Jaz would be cheaper yet and if you're not racing it'll be fine. On the foam, foam is foam and can be replaced. Pump gas kills the foam in time.

    Re: fuel cell recommendation

    The foam will start to break up over time from any brand. Since this is a new fuel cell, run a couple of full tanks of gas and then check your fuel filter. You'll notice some of the foam start to pack up in there. It's normal on a new cell, so just clean or change the filter and then you should be fine for a couple years or more.

    I thought you might like this, it is what i came up with to run a stock pump in a fuel cell. It is just a cheap Summit fuel cell.
