Hey guys whats up Im new to these forums and just got my 95 s14 se. Im slowly bringing it back from the dead and one thing it needs is a new tank. I cant find a tank for a 95 so Im just gonna go the other route and install a fuel cell. My question is how do I install it? me and my brother will be installing it and this will be the first fuel cell either of us has installed.

What besides the actual cell itself do i need?
The car is stock at the moment, will the stock fuel pump work?
Im still learning mechanics my brother is fairly good at it but weve never done fuel cell so all the help I can get is appreciated thanks!

I beleive there is one for sale in the "For Sale" section. You just have to look through the part outs. I know because i bought a brande new tank since i couldnt find one and the other day, i was like WTF, where was this when i needed it. And, whatever company you buy the cell from should give you some insight. i know because i was going to go this route.

Are you building this car to track or just daily drive? If its just daily driving, I would find a used fuel tank.

If you must go the fuel cell route you will need,

Fuel cell, Biggest you can fit.

Fuel pump (inline/in-tank) - depending on the type of fuel cell you buy will change what pump type)

Fuel lines You can be a cheap ass here and use hose clamps and rubber lines but you should get stainless braided/an fittings.

Yeah im going to daily drive it but the thing is there isnt any s14 tanks and the ones i have found are all broken. Like really who the hell would buy a broken tank when theres is already broken? And the thing is it has to be off a 95. So Its not really a choice I have to do a fuel cell

Idk about a cell for a daily.. If your rear ended hard enough its gonna hit the tank an could catch fire or worse, Thats why tanks are in the middle under the car. If you run a cell its a MUST to tube the rear of the trunk in case of a rear impact!! If you cant afford to do that Invest in a ATL cell there $800 but this is your life if ur in an accident bud.

^^^ What he said. A fuel cell is not really a safe option for a daily driven car. To do it properly will probably cost you the same or more then you can get a new OEM tank for and still won't be as safe. Here is a link to a new tank for your car since you seem to be having trouble finding one.

I got my OEM tank fro m FRSPORT.com I caught it during a sale so it came out to like 350ish +/- a few bucks. If you read the reviews, thats actually my install pics :)
