Drop Tanks And Fuel Cells

[MY_84_VK]

Hi all,

I don't know if a thread already exists regarding this topic and sorry if there is but I could not find one nor could I find anything that answered my questions.

What I want to know are drop tanks and fuel cells legal in street cars?

Also to what extent can you go with one, in terms of altering body, such as wheel wells etc before needing an engineers?

And a bit off topic, but can I put a VN 5L in my VK and run a carby instead of EFI without needing engineers?

If any one could shed any light on these questions it would be much appreciated.

Cheers Luke

i dont know about the feul cell but in regards to the vn into the vk i dont think there would be a problem in that you can put a newer engine into the older model car

however i dont know anything about the vk's but im assuming they came with the 5L from the factory otherwise you'll still need a engineers certificate

The Vk's came out with a 5L, but only with a carby whereis the VN is injected, so I don't know if you have to keep the pollution gear etc for the efi :S

as far as i know, you need a engineers report on any modification/movements of fuel tanks/cells

my bosses HK has a fuel cell and it needed a engineers report of rego, and it was just bolted down inside the boot. no cutting of the body
