    not sure on the brand of mine but it is a black plastic 16 gallon cell with a sump.mounted right on the trunk floor with straps like the stock tanks do just over the top.you will have to notch the floor for a sump or space the cell up enought o clear it,bou 1.5-2 inches.

    not sure on the brand of mine. i think its 15 to 17 gallons. i havent filled it all the way in 3 years. its aluminum with a sump that reqired it to have large hole cut in the floor. its held down by tabs that bolt to the floor on the sides. it has two outlets in the sump, an inlet and a vent on the top. it has a level sender in it that is gm spec and works an autometer gage. i took the foam out because it will brake down and clog up your fuel lines, filters and pump over time.

    Mine is a JAZ 16 gal,it is the only one I could find with a Ford sender,(but I had to build a resistor to make it work) cost twice the price of Summit or Jegs for that reason,not worth it for the sender...good cell otherwise,I built my own brackets.
