Fuel Cell Alum. 17 Gal w/sender

The Fuel Cell Aluminum 17 Gallon with Sender (RCI 2172A) is purpose-built for serious performance and custom automotive projects where reliability and fuel capacity demand professional-grade engineering. Whether you're building a race car, restoring a vintage vehicle, or upgrading a street machine, this aluminum fuel cell eliminates the limitations of OEM tanks while delivering consistent fuel delivery under demanding conditions. Motorsports enthusiasts and fabricators choose quality fuel cells to improve weight distribution, increase usable fuel volume, and gain the flexibility to mount tanks in unconventional locations without compromising safety or function.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum, this 17-gallon capacity cell reduces unsprung weight compared to steel alternatives, a critical advantage in performance driving where weight savings translate directly to acceleration, braking, and handling improvements. The integrated fuel sender enables accurate gauge readings and safe fuel management without requiring auxiliary wiring or custom instrumentation solutions. The compact footprint of 18.2 x 10.6 x 32.4 inches allows flexible packaging in engine bays, trunks, or custom locations, while the 22.43-pound dry weight makes installation and adjustment manageable for experienced fabricators and professional shops alike.

This fuel cell works best for builders tackling circle track racing, drag racing, road course competition, or high-performance street builds where OEM fuel systems fall short. Proper installation requires fitting compatible fuel lines, regulator sizing appropriate to your fuel pump capacity, and secure mounting using frame-mounted brackets to handle cornering and acceleration forces. Consult your fuel system designer or fabricator to ensure the sender output matches your dashboard gauge and that fuel pump pressure and flow align with this cell's 17-gallon capacity and your engine's consumption requirements.
