new fuel cell supplier

[Rick Kirchner]

Was looking through some classifieds and saw a cell in a FF that I hadn't heard of before:

I just received one about 10 days ago from Schultz. Semi custom, about 4 -5 weeks for that, and the price is competitive (for my FV). Seems well made and it is as drawn.

Do these cells have the required certifications for SCCA?

I believe that cells have to be FIA or FAA certified to be legal for SCCA competition. A quick glance at the web site did not indicate that the cells were certified.

From the supplied link > if you look very carefully at the white example at the Schultz website, one can see where it says >
SPEC: SFI
I don't know that this answers the FIA / FAA question.

Glad to hear there's alternative to the usual suspects.


Ethan recommended me to this company for a custom fuel cell for a Lotus 23. Fair prices, excellent quality and good service. Jim Harmon is ex Fuel Safe.

Yes, SFI 28.something. They are fine for SCCA. Good quality IMO.

I reached out and received both an email and call in one (1) day. Pleasant to visit with.

Anyone familiar with the material used to form the OEM bladders of the mid-year Van Diemens?

I worked with them to build a copy of the Citation FV “winged” cell. They scan the cell and put it in a Cad drawing, so should be able to order from the drawings without sending your cell in. The first is in my son’s car now.

I thought the cost was on the high side, but looking at published prices from other manufacturers, I think there is a new normal.

I am working on a universal cell that will fit many FVs but that will be an off season project.

I found they were very busy the first part of the year so if planning for next year, now is a good time to get started.

Disclaimer - I have worked with Harmon and know people who have worked with Pyrotect and Schultz spoke highly of them - just trying to get a company going here on the East Coast. Not getting any discounts or special deals for promoting them. (but always open to sponsorship....)

OEM VDs are that beige ATL stuff
