How do you run fuel from a fuel cell without running any fuel from fuel tank??
See title. And without disconnecting any hoses to switch between the 2.
For instance If I want to go to the track and want to run higher octane without putting it in my gas tank.

so you are saying I can run 91 octane from the fuel tank and 100+ from the fuel cell that only goes to the fuel solenoid without tapping the fuel line. Is that possible????
The problem with putting 100+ octane in the fuel tank is that it will mix with regular fuel and I plan to run a very high shot. So I need all the high octane I can get because the timing can't be retarted.

That is the way I usually run mine, fuel from the tank and fuel solenoid from the fuel cell. However the way I have it set up I can also run the engine as well as the fuel solenoid from the fuel cell or I can run tank fuel to the fuel solenoid too.
If you just use the cell for the fuel solenoid the cost of fuel is reduced dramatically as well. I just buy one 2 gal contained at the start of the year and it lasts the season. Sure beats mixing it in the tank.

Look at my drawing again. It shows a 255 Walbro External and I am using the Accufab universal FPR both from http://www.autoperformanceengineering.com/.
If you just want to use it for the nitrous just eliminate the line going to valve "B" and it will just feed the nitrous solenoid.
Fitting the 1 gal fuel cell was a chore, the only place I found it would fit is in the cavity where the CAI filter would go and I placed it there on both my 95 and 2k2. Probably not the safest place but I have a line connected to the outlet of the pump which will empty the cell to a fuel can when not in use.

The picture and the drawing help a lot. Thanks.
Also even with the fuel cell do I still need to run a higher flow fuel pump for the car's fuel tank to run a 100+ shot?
And what is the psi that you set the fuel cell fpr?

My fpr is set for 52 on the 2k2 but I had it set at 43-45 for my 4th Gen.
