Default Race Fuel Cell hookup-- Help!

OK,

I want to install a fuel cell, and mount it in the spare tire well in the back of my 4g hatch. The car is stripped, so it will be mounted in the well, as low as can go. I will be removing the stock tank after I get this thing in and running. It's a 5 gallon plastic fuel cell.

My question is if I need an inline fuel pump to use this, or if I somehow use a stock or another drop in fuel pump, and just run lines from the cell to the stock fuel lines. It will be an NA D15z6 setup for now, so super high flow won't be necessary.

If anyone has experience or knowledge on what I need to do to connect this system, please let me know...

Thanks,

Jung

ur gonna get rid of ur stock fuel tank and put in a 5 gallon tank ON THE INTERIOR OF UR CAR?, theoretically its not that hard but why? ur gonna be huffed from fumes buddy, alot less safe, its just a matter of getting the pumped hooked up on the new container with all the connectors nice and tight to avoid having gas leaks in ur ride, and of course ur gonna have to change the setup of the filler neck on ur gas tank to get the gas into the container, or i guess put the hose in ur car when filling but once again why? id really suggest against this unless ur planning on getting rid of the fuel tank for room to add a rwd system or if u want an all out drag car and only wanted like a 2 gallon tank in there. be careful buddy, and please tell me the fuel cell is made to hold gasoline?

The fuel Cell is indeed made for gas. These tanks are essentially made with this purpose in mind. Most people mount them in their trunk, but being as I don't have one, it will be in the hatch area..

The system will be completely sealed, and vented to the outside, so no worries on fumes. The tank has a filler cap on the top, and I'll simply have to pop the hatch to fill her up.

I'm just trying to figure out what pump I need...
