rob_h Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Hi, If running a fuel cell, is rendering the stock fuel tank non-op by cutting holes in it an alternative to removing it? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Nope. 3.4. Fuel tanks / cells 3.4.1 If a fuel cell is installed, the OEM tank, if applicable, must be removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_h Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Hi Roman, How do we submit a rule change request? I'd like to propose that an non-op tank be allowed, or that an under body panel no larger than the surface area than the bottom horizontal surface of the stock fuel tank be allowed to to be installed in the location of the stock fuel tank (if removed).

What is an in-op tank? You meant non-op? What is the use case? Why would you want to leave the tank in there? Roman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
