  Look around on the Net, Ben...There are other manufacturers that are
probably more user-friendly and less expensive..I just linked the ATL folks
because I recalled that name...
   If I recall, I got my 928 cell from a shop in Bend, Or. where they make
them and they were really helpful..This was almost ten years ago now.
Summit Racing, Pelican Parts, Pegassus, Racer Wholesale...?   Fuel cells
ain't cheap.

   There are also very sturdy plastic tanks made in all sizes and shapes,
tanks that aren't encased in sheet metal nor filled with gas-resistant very
porous foam, like a fuel cell is.Tanks that probably as good as a stock VW
tank...Made from that whitish plastic that will withstand fuel but also is
taste-free...That is what came in my
Alaskan pick up camper as a water tank.  I loosely stored a handy-man Jack
under the bench with the water tank and after six trips to the tip and both
sides of the Baja penninsula over countless miles and hours of washboard
roads...that jack wore a hole through my water tank and I had to replace
it....I wish I could link you to those sites too, but that info is
long-gone from my memory and no paperwork....You might call Alaskan Campers
and ask them where they get their tanks...nice people here in Wa. state.
