IT RUNS! Building My 2006 NASCAR Monte Carlo: Dodge R5P7 First Startup! (Oil Lines and Wiring)

What happens here

The creator assembles the fuel cell, starting with the pickup. He discovers the fuel cell has a built-in pickup, eliminating the need to build one. He then has to wrestle the fuel cell bladder into its outer case, describing it as a difficult and messy process. He jokes that he should have filmed it for comedic value.

Goal: Properly install the fuel cell components.

Tools and materials

  • Fuel Cell ATL Super Cell — Main fuel storage unit
  • Fuel Cell Bladder — Flexible fuel container inside the case
  • Fuel Cell Case — Outer protective casing for the bladder
  • Fuel Pickup — Drawing fuel from the cell
  • Submersible Fuel Hose — Internal fuel line connections

like time and money saved now I'm working on putting together the fuel cell and see I had this out cuz it's going to get rotated but explain that later the pickup in here well this cell has a built-in fuel pickup back here in the corner you see it's just got a a threaded an O-ring base a end fitting in there and it's got slots in the back you can see it in the reflection that's the pickup which is pretty cool I didn't know that was in there until we took the foam out and found it I thought I was going to have to build something but you cannot submerge regular line into gasoline ethanol whatever it is cuz it'll it'll eat it so we got this special submersible fuel hose here just for mockout purposes essentially it'll be like that I got to put all the rest of the foam back in this will go on there and this is just the bladder without the cell I have to fold that up like a pretzel and jam it through that hole and then unfold it and put everything together that'll be fun took a while playing Tetris with the foam to get something in here that made relative Sense Once the line is in and that goes down in there but it probably took me like it took me like 5 minutes to wrestle this fuel cell bladder through this hole and I probably should have filmed it but I didn't and if I did it would have looked like a monkey on a football because if you've ever done this before which I'm sure a lot of you have uh it's not easy to do and I don't know if there is like a right way to do it if there is please let me know and
