Fuel cell capacity

[83vdcsr]

I'm running a street ported 13B sports racer and have to replace the fuel cells and have to decide how big a cell to install. What capacity are the FM cars? How much fuel are you using in a 30 minute race?
Thanks in advance.

Approx. 13 gallons in the FM. You'll use as much as 10 in a race situation at a fast track. 15(?) would be a good margin for a high-end 13B, if you can find the space.

Thanks for the reply. Finding the room will definitely be an issue. The motor is only about 200 Hp so a bit more than FM so I will have to plan for 15 ga.

You should be fine with the standard cell. We had a custom ATL cell made with about 12 gallons capacity (was intended to be identical to a standard FM cell but came out wrong) and have no issues with regional or national length races.

We run a streetported 13B with a little more power than you are putting out. Looking forward to the ARRC.
