[Fot] Fuel Cell Questions

[Tony Drews]

Dropping it below the trunk floor is done for weight distribution.
I THINK the soft rubber is safer than the hard plastic, but am less 
confident in that answer.

The stock gas cap opens too easily so needs to be wired shut if 
used.  If you connect to a remote fill, you need to use fire and 
impact resistant plumbing.  There's a video of a Miata (I think) 
going up in flames because the fill line for the fuel tank broke / 
melted.  Very scary.  It's best to just use the cap on top of the 
tank and avoid any possible issues with impact / fire related to a remote fill.
