Re: Fuel Cell Sources

Well now that I'm finally getting around to this, JAZ Products makes fuel cells all the way down 1 quart. However, I'm having a hard time getting ahold of a representative from there so does anyone know of any other fuel cell manufactuers? The fuel cell is for our 1/4 Scale Pulling Tractor here at school. The requirements I am working around are as follows:


16.3 Fuel tanks must have a minimum opening of 1.25 inches (32 mm) diameter and be equipped with a vented, no-spill fuel cap that will prevent excessive fuel leakage when inverted.

16.4 A dedicated drain line, with quick and easy access, must be incorporated into the fuel system to allow draining of the fuel. The drain line must be accessible from outside the tractor, without the removal of shielding, and must drain to the ground without contacting any other tractor components.

16.6 Maximum fuel tank capacity shall be no larger than 3 quarts. (2.84 L).

The reason I'm pursuing a fuel cell versus your regular lawn & garden fuel tank is for the safety factor. Our tractor is gone through with a fine tooth comb via various parameters, one of which is safety.


Thanks!
