About Black 5 Gallon Coated Aluminum Fuel Cell Gas Tank & Level Sender Racing/drifting
What is Black 5 Gallon Coated Aluminum Fuel Cell & Level Sender Racing/drifting?
The Black 5 Gallon Coated Aluminum Fuel Cell is a purpose-built fuel container for motorsport applications. Constructed from high-grade aluminum, the tank resists dents and corrosion while keeping weight low. The integrated 0-90 Ω level sender provides accurate fuel-level feedback to compatible gauges, and the quick-release cap with dual-10 outlet and vent ports simplifies refueling on the pit lane.
The tank holds up to five gallons (approximately 19 liters) of gasoline, and its interior is lined with anti-slosh foam to dampen fuel movement during hard cornering. The foam also helps prevent fuel starvation and reduces the risk of fuel-induced vibration damage to surrounding components.
Installation requires professional mounting because the tank’s mounting points are designed for chassis-rigid applications. The quick-release cap features dual-10 fuel outlets and dual-10 vent outlets on the top of the cell, allowing simultaneous fueling and venting without removing the cap. The cap is not compatible with alcohol-based fuels, methanol, or water, and the foam should be inspected regularly for degradation.

- Quick-release cap – dual-10 fuel and vent outlets for fast pit stops.
- 5-gallon capacity – holds roughly 19 L of gasoline for endurance-style racing.
- Non-compatible with alcohol fuels – designed exclusively for gasoline to avoid corrosion.
Who is Black 5 Gallon Coated Aluminum Fuel Cell & Level Sender Racing/drifting for?
This fuel cell targets serious racers, drift teams, and performance-shop builders who need reliable fuel storage without sacrificing weight. It is especially valuable for vehicles that run on pure gasoline and require real-time fuel-level monitoring, such as drag cars, rally-spec sedans, and custom drift chassis.
How does Black 5 Gallon Coated Aluminum Fuel Cell & Level Sender Racing/drifting compare?
Compared with standard plastic fuel tanks, this aluminum cell delivers superior impact resistance and a longer lifespan, though at a higher cost. Against generic aluminum tanks lacking an integrated sender, it saves the expense and wiring of a separate gauge sensor, while the quick-release cap also outperforms traditional screw-type caps in refueling speed.
Best use cases
- →Drag racing cars needing precise fuel monitoring.
- →Drift chassis that experience high lateral G-forces.
- →Rally-spec vehicles with endurance fuel requirements.
- →Custom performance builds where weight savings matter.
Is Black 5 Gallon Coated Aluminum Fuel Cell Gas Tank & Level Sender Racing/drifting right for you?
Buy the Black 5 Gallon Coated Aluminum Fuel Cell if you run a gasoline-only race car, drift machine, or high-performance build that demands accurate fuel-level data and rapid refueling. It suits experienced installers or shops that can mount the tank securely and connect the sender to a compatible gauge. For those preferring a plug-and-play solution, consider a complete fuel system kit that includes a tank, pump, and gauge. This cell offers a balance of durability, weight savings, and precise monitoring.

What type of fuel can be stored in this tank?
▾
The tank is engineered exclusively for gasoline. It cannot be used with alcohol-based fuels, methanol, or water because those liquids can corrode the aluminum and degrade the foam liner. Storing only pure gasoline ensures the tank’s corrosion-resistant coating remains intact and the level sender continues to provide accurate readings.
Does the fuel sender require any special wiring?
▾
The 0-90 Ω sender is a passive resistor that plugs directly into a compatible gauge’s sender input. No additional power or complex wiring is needed beyond the gauge’s standard two-wire connection. However, ensure the gauge is calibrated for a 0-90 Ω range to obtain correct fuel-level readings.
How often should the anti-slosh foam be inspected?
▾
Manufacturers recommend checking the foam liner at each major service interval, typically every 5,000 miles or after any hard impact. Look for signs of compression, cracking, or material loss. Replacing the foam early prevents fuel-movement issues and maintains the tank’s protective barrier.
Is professional installation mandatory for this fuel cell?
▾
While the tank can be mounted by a skilled DIY enthusiast, professional installation is strongly advised. The tank’s mounting brackets must align with the chassis, and the sender wiring needs secure routing to avoid vibration-induced failures. Improper installation can lead to fuel leaks or inaccurate gauge readings.
Can this tank be used in vehicles that run on ethanol blends?
▾
Ethanol blends such as E10 or E15 introduce moisture that can accelerate corrosion of aluminum components. Because the tank’s coating is optimized for pure gasoline, using ethanol-mixed fuels is not recommended and may void any warranty. Stick to gasoline-only applications for reliable performance.
