As long as everything is sealed up properly. I do not think you will run into any "Legal" issues with a fuel cell.

If you will allow yourself to think about it. The stock fuel "Tank" is a type of fuel "Cell."

Read the motor vehicle statutes for Nevada to make sure.

Fuel cells are typically legal for the street. This is a federally regulated DOT thing, not a state based thing. Any fuel storage tank has to be mounted completely outside of the car.
