It's safer: as a 'bag-in-box' design, if the bladder inside leaks it will leak into the steel box. The bladder inside and the box also help prevent fuel from 'sloshing' around as much, though they seem to be using some new kind of anti-sloshing foam instead of a bladder. It's stronger: made from stainless steel and another added layer instead of plastic. It can be mounted anywhere: fuel tanks are almost always under the car. A fuel cell can be moved when clearance is important or if a larger space is needed for a larger tank, such as in an off-road vehicles or long-range races. It has all ports for fuel injection: it can be filled faster and more safely with the fuel barrels they'd likely be using in the desert vs. a gas pump at a gas station.
Exactly. Metal seems can split under load... the "bladder" is the last line of defense. Don't leave home without it. Also, fuel outlets on the bottom are BAD. Knock those off and you'll empty your entire tank. Blaw blaw blaw :)
@@ovalwingnut kind of a moot point if you knock those off you have a lot bigger problems than your fuel tank emptying also if youre using the fuel cell as a load baring component yeah itll split down the seems, duh😂😂😂
Kohl Jones, A lot Of People That Do Fuel Cells With Dual Bottom Outlets Assume One Is For The Main Fuel Supply And The Other Fitting Is To Be Blocked Off. If Your Running A Non Return System Then You Only Need A Fuel Cell With One Bottom Fitting For Your Fuel Supply And The Top 2 Fittings One Is For A Vent And The Second Is For A Roll Over Valve. If Your Running A Return Style System Then The Second Bottom Fitting Is For Your Return Line, You Want The Returning Fuel Below To Keep The Fuel Cool And It Prevents Air Pockets From Entering The Fuel Pump And Causing Cavitation Which Will Lead To The Pump Working A lot Harder And Shorten The Life Of The Fuel Pump........
Didn't Mean For It To Sound Like an Argument, Just wanted To share The Correct Way Between Fuel Cells Having A Single Outlet Vs Dual Outlet, And The Correct Way To Plumb The Fuel Cell This Way Your Motor & Fuel Pump Will Be Very Happy........
@@ethanwhitney4968 no it wouldnt, if you want to be able to convert back you would just keep it well intact and take the fuel tank hangars off and keep this intact but you don't really want to keep it on especially with fuel in it so if you are going to leave it in then you need to take out all the gas and it's not hard to remove or install a oem fuel tank so there's no reason to not taking it out

Hmmm. The video title says "tank vs cell". I guessed I missed what the difference is.
He's says right at the start, it's safer, stronger, and can be mounted anywhere.
@@VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMhe actually explained l, has nothing to do with stronger safer blah blah

does the tank come with a seal gasket around the gas cap?
Thats a tank with foam ,a cell has bladder and incased in a tank as well

Plenty of cells dont have bladders. Stop correcting people on the internet you’re wrong.
and eventually the foam will fall apart and plug up your COMPLETE SYSTEM
First Off The 2nd Fitting On The Bottom Of The Fuel Cell Is For The Return Line........
First thing that went through my mind too. It's an outlet and inlet. Top is for venting. Wtf.

@@jerryengle4684 Yea dude, totally agree. Wasn't arguing with you. I'm doing a fuel cell install right now.

Do you have to remove your old fuel tank before r do u keep it on
Don't HAVE to no. But it's gonna just be sitting there with fumes coming out of it? You can't plug it up. Might as well take it off and get rid of it.
Tyler Durden would It be smarter to leave the gas tank, so you can convert back if you wanted?
@@ethanwhitney4968 no it wouldnt, if you want to be able to convert back you would just keep it well intact and take the fuel tank hangars off and keep this intact but you don't really want to keep it on especially with fuel in it so if you are going to leave it in then you need to take out all the gas and it's not hard to remove or install a oem fuel tank so there's no reason to not taking it out
disintegrated tank foam sucks
Will the fuel cell keep operating in rainy conditions?
What? Of course it would. I wanna know why you would ask that?
@@godgoldgunsngolf6733 my guess is because its in the open and the fact the where you pour the fuel in is on the top as well
Why do you look so young but old at the same time did you die your hair?
I have one of these on my custom truck. Problem is I smell gas in the garage all the time. How do I fix that?
Maybe evap parts
Evap to a charcoal canister you should store anything with a fuel tank empty if it is gonna sit a while
