Dry run on the intake and pressure pot for oiling, but I stripped a valve cover bolt thread🤬 so I gotta wait for a helicoil kit.

Conundrum, how to get a 3rd seat and fuel cell in a yj with a full cage and still carry tools. Cooler fluid, tranny juice, and earls a tool roll and recovery bag as well as a power tank will be in the back

Looking for ideas before I lock down the fuel cell. Rear seat will be a jr seat for a kid probably 12” old max and feet can go between the fronts or rest on the crossbsr

In my opinion, put the fuel cell behind the seat. Use space next to seat and on top of fenders for storage. Any potential fuel leaks will be behind the person in the seat and they can reach anything you have stored for gear/cooler.

That's a tough one for sure. I have a motobilt YJ fuel cell in the back of mine and made a mounting plate for my son's car seat in front of the fuel cell. It works pretty good, but I know its just for a small kid. The motobilt tank is angled at the top which allowed the seat to move back further. It's going to be tough with the RCI fuel cell. I also have a power tank and I haven't found a good place to mount it other than right beside the car seat. I would recommend carrying the bare necessities for tools, and leaving the rest of the tools/fluids/tank at the tow rig or camp.

Unfortunately I bought the extended range 19 gallon Motobilt without the angled top. Plus I wouldn’t want to be responsible for more than 2 kids wheeling.
