I have a fuel cell for sale if intersted.

5 Gallon Fuel Cell made from tough polyethylene construction for maximum impact resistance. Has flush mount aircraft-type lid, -8AN outlet and -8 AN vent fitting. Measurements 13" x 13" x 8". New never installed or used.

I know of a local shop that does the V8 Focus conversions, and most of the cars that have left that shop have fuel cells. Those cars are made for street use and pass regular inspection without any heard of issues.
Would it be safe, I figure if mounted corretly it should be safer than any normal gas tank, that;s why it's required on race cars.

I found this in a thread over on The Samba, not sure what the capacity is, but the trunklid closes completely. From here - http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=177746

The Fuel Safe cell in Herbie X has a sender in it. It was 16 gal before the foam went in (prob. 13 gal. now) I think he paid over 2K to have it made but it wa a custom job.
