Yet another Challenge question....
I have installed an ATL plastic fuel cell encased in a steel box (also ATL) into the spare tire well of the Challenger. Is it necessary or required via SCCA/NHRA regs to have a sheet of metal separating the trunk compartment from the main cabin or does the box suffice to allow the car to compete?
I'm getting last minute things together and this just dawned on me.
2004 NHRA says:
"All batteries, fuel lines, fuel pumps, or filler necks located inside trunk require complete bulkhead of at least .024 inch steel or .032 inch aluminum to isolate driver compartment from trunk." "Fuel tanks must be located within confines of body." "All fuel tanks must be isolated from the driver's compartment by a firewall, completely sealed to prevent any fuel from entering the driver's compartment." "Fuel cells must have a metal box protecting the part of the fuel cell that is outside of body lines or trunk floor" "All fuel tanks must have a pressure cap and be vented outside the body."
