EVIL ENERGY Fuel Cell Tank Kit | 5/10/15 Gallon | Solution for performance fuel management

How to Choose the Right Fuel Cell Kit for Your Projects

Choosing a fuel cell kit involves more than selecting the tank capacity. You should also consider the available mounting space, expected operating time, full-tank weight, engine fuel demand, fuel type and whether the vehicle is intended for drag racing, drifting, track use, off-road use or limited street driving.

Choose by Automotive Fuel Tank Capacity

Automotive fuel tank capacity does not directly determine driving range. For street use, estimate the range using the vehicle’s actual MPG and maintain a safe fuel reserve. For track use, also account for warm-up time, staging or grid delays, return-line fuel circulation and fuel that may become temporarily unavailable to the pickup during hard acceleration, braking or cornering.

Choose by 6AN Evil Energy Fuel Line Material

CPE fuel hose is a flexible, cost-effective choice for conventional gasoline street vehicles and many performance builds. It is easy to route and suitable for general-purpose fuel systems, but it is not recommended for E85, methanol, or long-term exposure to high-ethanol fuels.

PTFE fuel hose offers greater chemical resistance and lower fuel-vapor permeation than CPE hose. It is suitable for gasoline and E85 applications. When using ethanol-blended or specialty fuels, confirm that the fuel pump, pressure regulator, filter seals, fittings, and fuel cell foam are also compatible with the selected fuel.

Conductive PTFE fuel hose features a conductive inner liner that helps dissipate static electricity generated by fuel flow. It is commonly selected for high-flow diesel systems and other applications where static control is a priority. Verify that every component in the system is compatible with diesel fuel and the required operating pressure.

Fuel compatibility must be evaluated across the entire fuel system. A compatible hose does not automatically make the complete kit compatible—the tank or fuel cell foam, pump, regulator, filter seals, fittings, and hose must all be rated for the fuel being used.

Standard vs. Upgraded Fuel Cell Kit: Which One Should You Choose?

Both EVIL ENERGY fuel cell kits include the same core fuel-system components: a fuel cell tank, 300 LPH fuel pump, two-stage filtration, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, 20 ft of 6AN fuel hose, and the required tank and fuel pump adapter fittings. The main difference is the number of 6AN hose ends included.

Choose this Standard Fuel Cell Kit if you already have compatible 6AN hose ends or want full control over the number and angle of each fitting. This option lets you build the hose-end package around your exact fuel-line layout.

Choose the Evil Energy Upgraded Fuel Cell Kit if you want to reduce separate parts ordering. It includes eight straight and four 90-degree 6AN hose ends, giving you a more complete starting point for a typical custom installation.

Before You Order: Plan the supply and return hose routing, then count the straight and angled hose ends required at the tank, pump, filters, regulator and engine. If your installation requires multiple hose ends, compare the Standard and Upgraded Fuel Cell Tank Kits before purchasing to determine which package better matches your layout.

Fuel Cell Kit Components and Fuel Flow Diagram

A clear fuel tank parts diagram helps installers identify each component, follow the correct fuel-flow direction and avoid common problems such as reversed filters, a restricted pump inlet or an incorrectly connected return line.

Recommended return-style EFI fuel path: Fuel Cell Tank → 100-Micron Pre-Pump Filter → 300 LPH External Fuel Pump → 10-Micron Post-Pump Filter → Fuel Rail → Bypass Fuel Pressure Regulator → 6AN Return Line → Fuel Cell Return Port.

Key Fuel System Installation Guidelines

1. Follow the filter flow direction. Install the 100-micron filter before the pump and the 10-micron filter after the pump. The arrow on each filter housing must point in the direction of fuel flow.
2. Mount the external pump correctly. Position the pump low and close to the fuel cell so the inlet receives a gravity-assisted fuel supply. Keep the inlet hose short and minimize sharp bends. Use the supplied bracket with appropriate vibration-isolating hardware, and protect the pump from road debris and exhaust heat.
3. Use the correct hose ends. PTFE hose requires hose ends specifically designed for PTFE construction. Standard CPE hose ends must not be installed on PTFE hose because the internal support and sealing design are different.
4. Secure and protect the fuel lines. Support the feed and return lines with fuel-safe clamps to prevent movement and chafing. Keep both lines away from hot surfaces, sharp edges, steering components, suspension travel and the driveshaft.
5. Keep the vent and return paths open. Never block the fuel cell vent. Make sure the return hose has no kinks or restrictions and connects to the correct return port rather than the feed outlet.
6. Prime and pressure-test the closed system. Complete all hose connections before energizing the pump. Add fuel, briefly cycle the pump using a properly fused relay circuit and inspect every connection while the system is pressurized. Do not loosen or disconnect fittings while the pump is operating or the system is under pressure.

Safety Notice: Fuel-system installation involves flammable liquids, electrical wiring and pressurized plumbing. Installation should be completed by someone experienced with automotive EFI systems. Work in a well-ventilated area, keep ignition sources away and perform a complete leak inspection before starting or driving the vehicle.

Why Choose the EVIL ENERGY Standard Fuel Cell Kit?

Universal Fit for Custom Builds: Instead of shopping by vehicle make and model, you can select the tank based on available space, fuel demand and intended use. This universal fuel cell kit works well for LS swaps, classic cars, pickup trucks, off-road rigs and race cars. Because it is designed for custom installation rather than direct-fit replacement, always verify tank dimensions, mounting points and clearance before ordering.

Choose from 5-, 10- or 15-Gallon Tanks: The 5-gallon tank is a compact, lightweight option for drag racing and short-duration use. The 10-gallon tank offers a practical balance of capacity and size for drift, autocross and street/strip builds. The 15-gallon tank is better suited for off-road vehicles, restomods and higher-consumption builds that need more operating range.

300 LPH External Inline Fuel Pump: The included 12V pump delivers up to 300 LPH at 43 PSI and 13.5V, making it a strong starting point for many EFI performance builds. External mounting provides more flexibility when routing the fuel system and allows the pump to be serviced without dropping the tank. For reliable fuel delivery, mount the pump low and close to the tank, and confirm that its flow at your actual fuel pressure supports the engine’s horsepower and fuel requirements.

20 ft of 6AN Fuel Hose: The included 6AN (3/8 in) fuel hose provides enough length for many supply-and-return layouts. Because 6AN is a common size in aftermarket fuel systems, compatible hose ends, adapters and replacement parts are widely available. Measure the planned routing before installation to make sure 20 ft covers both lines.

Two-Stage Fuel Filtration: The 100-micron pre-pump filter catches larger debris before it enters the fuel pump, while the 10-micron post-pump filter provides finer protection for the pressure regulator and fuel injectors.

Adjustable Return-Style Fuel Pressure Regulator: The bypass regulator sends unused fuel back to the tank and helps maintain consistent fuel pressure as engine demand changes. Compared with a deadhead-style setup, a properly installed return system reduces the load created when the pump works against a closed outlet and supports more stable EFI fuel delivery.

Three 6AN Hose Options: Choose CPE fuel line for an affordable and flexible hose option in conventional gasoline systems. Choose PTFE fuel line for better chemical resistance and lower fuel-vapor permeation in gasoline, E85 or methanol applications. Conductive PTFE adds a conductive inner liner to help dissipate static electricity in applications where static buildup is a concern.
