Fuel tank location rule question

Fuel tank location rule question - 06/05/12 02:36 AM

Ok.

I'm doing up a 49 fargo truck into a street rod.

I want to run it down the track, so I want to know if mounting one of those aluminum hot rod style tanks in the box, is legal.

I've got an older rule book, and can't find anything directly to the contrary in the general regulations, but the rules all seem to worded for cars, not trucks.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

There must be a fireproof firewall between the driver and the fuel tank, no matter where it is, front of the grill, in the trunk or in the roadster or truck bed Send NHRA a E mail(then you have the reply in writing ) or call NHRA tech to get the most current straight scoop What does a Fargo truck look like pictures speak way louder than ten thousand words

Just remember if the sump sticks through the floor it must be covered.
