Correct me if im wrong ppls but im pretty sure they are illegal.

Out of curiosity why are they illegal?

[Bunta]

I think they are illegal if they are not in a sealed off compartment seperate to the cabin, and the boot doesnt count as it isnt air tight, i think if you contain the pumps and the tank in a perspex case they are sweet also they can be custom made and mounted under the car, thats what i am getting done for my car

Pretty sure they are legal as long as all fuel hoses are completely sealed in from the cabin

So they have to be mounted OUTSIDE the cabin (boot) to be legal, or in some sort of completely sealed box

Edit: Yeah what he said ^^^^^^^^

it would most likely want to be a fire retardant box to, perspex would just melt. ring up a engineer who does modplates ask them

[r33cruiser]

Just hide it inside a sub box

If you have your surge setup in the boot you will require a mod plate and will have to be installed by a professional to pass.

When fuel vapor/leaks are involved it becomes a important issue and a target for EPA and Fire baggage when modifying fuel system setup's from standard.

Be very carefully with the way you setup your fuel system, use correct fitting, seek the correct advice and install it in a safe position I.E keep it away from your battery if in boot.

Also be warned that police will now be targeting poor wiring quality/install, this being a fire hazard and dangerour is now a defective target.
