15 Gal Economy Cell Blk w/Metal D-Ring Cap

The 15 Gal Economy Cell Blk w/Metal D-Ring Cap from RJS SAFETY is a purpose-built fuel cell designed for road racing, drag racing, and high-performance automotive applications where safety and reliability are non-negotiable. This black fuel cell integrates a robust metal D-ring cap that provides secure closure and emergency fuel shutoff accessibility, making it the go-to choice for serious racers, autocross competitors, and vintage restoration specialists who demand compliance with sanctioning body regulations.

Built with foam-lined plastic construction, the 15-gallon fuel cell minimizes fuel slosh and sloshing during acceleration, braking, and cornering—critical factors that affect weight transfer and vehicle handling in competitive environments. The cell features an 8 AN male outlet for fuel delivery lines and a 6 AN male vent line, allowing fine-tuned fuel system configurations that work with both carbureted and fuel-injected racing engines. The compact oval design (measuring 20.5 x 13.5 x 28.5 inches when packaged) maximizes cargo area space while maintaining adequate capacity for endurance events, and the internal foam dampening prevents fuel surge that can cause carburetor float bowl overflow or fuel pump cavitation during aggressive driving.

Engine builders and race car fabricators benefit most from this economy cell when constructing dedicated race vehicles, historic race cars, or track-focused builds where OEM fuel tanks cannot meet safety or capacity demands. The metal D-ring cap serves dual purposes: it provides a secure closure against vibration and impact while offering an emergency fuel shutoff point if the cell is damaged during an accident. Installation requires custom fuel line routing and mounting bracket fabrication, but the 17-pound weight keeps fuel system mass minimal—important for performance-focused weight reduction programs. This fuel cell is ideal for competitors running NHRA, SCCA, or club-level racing series that require approved fuel containment systems.
