I used a 16 gal. RCI from Summit. Summit Brand looked fine also.
Mine is bolted to the trunk floor. You can also make a frome in the trunk out of box tubing or whatever. If you use one with a sump, it will have to be covered if you ever go to the strip. Get one with the 90 ohm gm sensor and for street use I would get it without the foam.
As far as lines - run your preference in a min. of 3/8 line.
Hard line , pushlock, ss braided the fuel cell itself will have -an fittings you will have to adapt too. You will also need to run a piece of hose from one of the top vents to some place outside of the trunk.
