New fuel cell has major leak

[70bigblockdodge]

There is never any pressure in it. It just holds the fuel ~5 gallons. Has a vent to atmosphere with a rollover check ball to prevent leaks when your up side down.
You guys are way overthinking this.
It's designed to be lightweight and have large fuel supply fitting.
You mount it far rearward and up high to aid in weight transfer in rotation around the axle.
No pressure in the tank, what do you think this is a 1908 Stutzs with a hand pump for the tank. Stick to your stock cars and just say "that's too bad Bob"

If nothing else goes wrong mid/late November

What else could possibly go wrong?

Yea I as wondering about psi testing a plastic fuel cell that has two vents & large inlet/outlet pipes. Every fuel cell I ever had when you take the cap off to refuel it doesn’t release any pressure. Anyway I called Summit back this morning & a new JAZ Cell is on the way. The tech guy was impressive. We discussed track tech procedures & he was right in there. Knew exactly what I was talking about.

I dont know but something will. It’s been two steps forward & one back the entire build. That’s why it’s still not ready.
