Adamhu,Dont quote me on this, but I think the stock vent hose runs into the filler tube (the tube you stick the nozzle into when you're pumping gas). Maybe you can run the fuel cells vent line to that same location.

I would also recomed the same location the stock one was in, but it comes down to where you place it. I might put one(or two) in my 240 down the road (after i go turbo). But i am going to be putting one into my 79 rx7 here in then next 2 months or so. so if you could post up what you end up doing, and help the rest of us out when we finaly do something like it. oh and good luck

Adam, I visited your site and I was wondering if you could tell me where did you buy those APR studs for your SOHC block? Do you have the part number? How much did the set of studs cost? Thanks.

Its a fuel cell, it replaces the stock fuel tank and sits in your trunk or somewhere back there, and no change in gas mileage, and usually only for staying within NHRA Regulations or SCCA Regulations when your going fast enough.

Plus they have bling bling factor
