8-12 gallon fuel cell recommendation

[drkelly]

I'm looking to put an 8-12 gallon fuel cell in my Samurai. I've read enough bad threads on those aluminum RCI units to know not to buy one of them. What do you guys recommend?

I'm thinking about this one in either the 8 or 12 gallon size:

The ones in the can are fine, as long as the size fits where you need it to. They are just a cheap plastic cell in a thin metal box. You can have fuel pickup problems esp in the ones that are low and flat.

If you want an AL cell, get one from here. I know you already said it, but I will say it again. RCI and summit AL cells are garbage in offroad vehicles.

Those tanks look great. Thanks for the link. I was thinking the same thing about possible fuel pickup problems on the one I posted since it is relatively flat. I might go with this 11 gallon universal one from Boyd:

Well that's pretty much dirt cheap for a nice AL cell! I couldn't build it for that.
