The general wall thickness is 3/16".
JAZ Products fuel cells are made for Circle Track, Drag Race, Off-Road, Road Race, and many other racing applications.
Most JAZ Products polyethylene fuel cells exceed SFI Spec. 28.1, but only the fuel cells labeled “THIS FUEL CELL CARRIES SFI CERTIFICATION” are actually certified. Only the fuel cells that are specifically designed for classes that require SFI certification receive a serial number and SFI label. If the fuel cell you require does not come standard with certification, JAZ Products can SFI certify any polyethylene, Pro Sport, or Specialized cell (with foam).
Fuel cells are not approved for FIA. FIA requires a bag-type rubber bladder and not a hard plastic shell. You can try Fuel Safe for these types of fuel cells.
Yes. However, polyethylene fuel cells are not designed for use with internal fuel pumps, as there is no existing provision for mounting. An internal pump can be drilled and installed by the customer.
All JAZ Products fuel cells are NHRA and IHRA approved. Pro Sport and other fuel cells with outer metal container are BITD, IMCA, LOORRS, and SCORE legal. Pro Max fuel cells are UDTRA and XTREME Dirt Car Series legal. Fuel cells with outer metainer container, roll over flapper protection, and added SFI certification are CHUMP Car Series legal.
The Circle Track, Remote Fill, Flat Bottom Pro Street With D-ring Cap, and Pro Sport fuel cells come equipped with one AN-8 Fuel Pickup fitting and one AN-8 Tip Over Valve Vent fitting.
The Drag Race Horizontal, Drag Race Vertical, and Pro Street With Sump fuel cells come equipped with two AN-8 Fast Flow Outlet fittings and one AN-6 Vent fitting.
The Aluminum fuel cells come equipped with two AN-8 Fast Flow Outlet fittings, one AN-8 Return fitting and one AN-8 Tip Over Valve Vent fitting.
The Pro Drag Race, Specialized, and certain Circle Track, Drag Race, & Pro Sport fuel cells come with different variations of fittings.
The wall thickness is 90 thousandths (.090") thick.
Polyethylene and polyethylene with outer metal container (Example: Pro Sport) fuel cells can be customized. The size and/or location of fittings can be modified per the customer's request. Also, the filler cap type and/or location can be modified. A fuel level sending unit can also be added if fuel cell is tall enough and has a sufficient mounting surface to accept one.
All Aluminum fuel cells are pre-built and no fitting changes can be made. The fuel cap can be changed out for a different 6-bolt cap or filler upon request. For models that come with a fuel level sending unit, the sending unit can be changed out for a different ohms range other than the standard 0-90 ohms upon request.
JAZ do not offer custom-molded fuel cells. The sizes carry in product catalog are the only cells available. Flat bottom polyethylene fuel cells can be flipped on their side or stood up on end and custom-built with fittings and filler installed on desired top portion. The customer can try Fuel Safe for a custom-molded fuel cell made to their specifications.
JAZ have sold fuel cells for Marine, Motorcycle, ATV and other various applications. However, JAZ do not recommend using fuel cells in an airplane application.
JAZ Products fuel cells are made for racing applications only. Fuel cells are not D.O.T. approved and are not designed for street use.
You would need to match the middle three digits of the mounting strap part number with the middle three digits of the fuel cell part number. For example, if you have a fuel cell with part number 250-016-01, you would need mounting strap part # 400-016-03.
Straps are available for the Tear Drop fuel cell only. All other mounting straps are designed for polyethylene fuel cells. You would need to make custom straps, tubing, or a cage to mount these fuel cells. Artec Industries offers mounting straps which fits some of Pro Sport fuel cell models.
Plastic AN fitting caps are plasced over each AN fitting when leaving facility. These plastic caps are color coded to designate the use of each type of fitting. Here is the Plastic AN Fitting Cap Color Code Key: Orange/Red cap is Pickup/Outlet, Yellow cap is Return, and Blue is Vent.
There is no set life to the safety foam, and can last up to 10+ years without needing to be replaced. The inline fuel filters going to the fuel pump should be checked often.
Yes. With pump fuels, up to 10% to 15% Ethanol is acceptable for use with the safety foam. The inline fuel filters going to the fuel pump should be checked often.
No. Alcohol, Methanol, and Ethanol fuels are not recommended with our safety foam. We also do not recommend E85 fuel. The water content in these fuels will cause the safety foam to deteriorate.
Yes. JAZ recommend with the use of Diesel fuels the safety foam be replaced once a year or once a season. The inline fuel filters going to the fuel pump should be checked often. The water content in the Diesel fuel will cause the safety foam to deteriorate.
JAZ do not recommend using the safety foam with water. The water will cause the safety foam to deteriorate.
The foam will turn to granules or look like a flame burned it. Using Alcohol, Methanol, and Ethanol fuel, as well as other fuel additives causes this. Also, if you notice signs of deterioration in the fuel cell or at the inline fuel filters, the foam may need to be replaced.
The foam should take up about 50% to 75% of the fillable void. The foam will expand when fuel is added.
The foam will take up anywhere from 1% to 4% of the volume of the fuel cell. This varies depending on the gallon capacity of the fuel cell. The smaller fuel cells, like 1 to 5 gallons will be around 1% to 2%. The larger fuel cells, like 16 to 32 gallons will be around 3% to 4%.
For the 1/4" bolts on the Caps and Fillers use a 7/16" wrench. A shorter (6") wrench works best.
No. The 12-bolt I.D. hole size, which is 4-3/8", would not fully cover the existing 6-bolt pattern.
No. Vented caps are not a sufficient standalone vent for the fuel cells. These have a minimal vent that allows for displacement of fuel. The fuel cell requires a completely open vent fitting installed. If tank is not properly vented, fuel starvation may occur.
Yes. Bail Handle (D-ring) Cap (Part # 350-301-03), 12-bolt Fill Valve with Red Plastic Cap (Part # 390-004-06), 12-bolt Fill Valve / Check Valve Flapper (Part # 391-251-03), 12-bolt Short Fill Valve / Check Valve Flapper (Part # 391-252-03), Billet Style Caps (Part # 391-352-06 and Part # 391-452-06), and Indy Caps (Part # 391-551-03 and Part # 391-552-03) come with a non-vented cap. These non-vented caps are approved for IMCA use. All other caps that we carry are vented caps. However, we do offer non-vented caps for all other cap assemblies and filler necks. These can be ordered upon special request.
Yes. The Fast Fill Valves are made for remote fill applications with a fuel filler hose attached. The weight of the fuel in the filler hose will allow the spring-loaded Flapper to drop down. You can also adjust the tension nut on the end of the spring-loaded flapper if necessary.
The filler neck on 45-degree Fast Fill Valves is 4-1/4" tall. This is the height from the flange straight up to the tip of the filler neck.
The filler neck on Straight Fast Fill Valves is 1-15/16" tall. The Straight Fast Fill Valve with Cap is 2" tall.
Dragster Fillers have a 2-1/2" Outside Diameter filler neck.
The 12-bolt Bail Handle Cap Assembly has a 3-1/2" opening once the cap is removed.
JAZ carry sending units in 8" and 11" lengths. Also carry a 16" 0-90 ohms range. This measurement is for the aluminum portion that would go inside the fuel cell. The tank would need to be at least 1/4" taller than the aluminum portion.
JAZ offer the sending units with 0-90 ohms, 70-10 ohms, and 240-33 ranges.
The first number of the ohms range would be Empty and the second is Full. For example, a 0-90 ohms sending unit would be Empty at 0 ohms and Full at 90 ohms.
The 0-90 ohms sending unit has worked with some GM / Chevy fuel gauges, but not all. This applies to stock gauges from 1963 to 1983. After 1983, GM / Chevy fuel gauges can vary.
The 70-10 ohms sending unit has worked with some Ford / Chrysler fuel gauges, but not all. This applies to stock gauges from 1963 to 1983. After 1983, Ford / Chrysler fuel gauges can vary.
The sending units are made to work with Unleaded pump gas and Racing fuels. Use of Alcohol, Methanol, Ethanol, or fuel additives will affect the performance of the sending unit and will also void any warranty.
The 11" sending unit can be used for this application, but the customer will have some reserve fuel after the fuel gauge goes to Empty. Also carry a 16" 0-90 ohms range. The customer could also try Fuel Safe for a cut-to-length style sending unit.
JAZ seats come with the necessary slots for a 5-point harness. The seats come with shoulder, lap, and submarine slots.
The Pro Stock, Mini Pro Stock, Low Back Pro Stock, and Turbo Pro seats sit 2-1/2" off of the floor. The Pro High Back seat sits 4-1/2" off of the floor.
The Drag Race Aluminum seat sits 1/8” off of the floor.
The polyethylene seats can be mounted directly to the floor or to a seat mount using the threaded inserts molded-in to each seat. The mounts are designed to be mounted on a flat surface. It is recommended that there be a back mount or roll bar for chair support upon acceleration.
The aluminum seats can be mounted directly to the floor. Also, the seat can be adapted to use seat mounts by drilling the appropriate holes into the seat. The mounts are designed to be mounted on a flat surface.
The Universal seat mounts are used to adjust the height of the seat from the floor. The Sliding seat mounts are used to allow front-to-back movement of the seat.
The seat mounts can be used together, if needed, for height adjustment and front- to-back movement of the seat. The seat mounts can also be used individually.
