Got the fuel cell mounted under the hood of the mid-engine Eclipse! Made a mount to replace the factory subframe brace and factory motor mount. The entire fuel cell is isolated with rubber so there shouldn't be any issues with noise or cracking! Inside the fuel cell is Deatschwerks universal fuel pump hanger and a 440LPH brushless fuel pump. We also mounted the factory fuel level sender so that gauge will still work. Next up is to make some AN fuel lines!

Gonna be one hellava front end crash

This thing is so far behind the front crash bar if you get in a big enough crash to pierce the tank you’re going to have bigger issues lol.

Are you going to make a filler neck for convenience cause it's a street build? Something like just one of those aftermarket ones could be cool like an old porsche

I wasn't planning on it. I don't think I'd be able to do it cleanly and I didn't think having to open the hood every time is a big deal.

Are you going to incorporate a frunk since the trunk is the engine bay now?

Carlo Vicenzetto

Are you going to build some kind of storage area in the front?

It just keeps getting better!

Front and back but he is going to run out of time. Another remark isn't it dangerous to mount the fuel cell upfront like that? what if it gets in an accident? That fuel cell should be mounted in the middle?

If the car collapses that far past the front radiator support you'd have issues bigger than fuel if the engine was there or not. The engine would have been pushed through the firewall and crushed the passengers
