Hi All,
I need to make a new can for my fuel cell. The GSR states :
"The fuel bladder shall be completely surrounded by a container
(which may also be a part of the structure or bodywork of the
car) to ensure rigid and secure mounting of the bladder and
provide additional protection. A minimum of .036 inch steel,
.059 inch aluminum, or an approved equivalent is required for
all vehicles."
The current can is not sealed and of very thin aluminum..maybe .025". Alot of the newer chassis designs with the cell on between the frame rails and behind the driver seat use material thinner than the above regulations for the enclosure. My question is: What thickness aluminum is generally acceptable to the SCCA Tech Inspectors ? This is a Dulon chassis.
TIA,
Dan
