Fuel cell in trunk?

When you put a fuel cell in the trunk of a car, and remove the old one, do you have to install a new electric fuel pump? The pump out of the old tank will not work in a cell right? Could somebody reccomend a good fuel cell and pump. I dont know what size would be the best, but lets say it is a 440 daily driver.

-Why a fuelcell??? Just buy a new stock fuel tank..

The fuelcell will cause you headache after headache... First off youll loose allot of trunk space. You have to make new fuel lines.. You should also seal off the trunk from the inside of the car so if you have an accident and the fuelcell gets punctured or you flip the car, the fuel wont leak and burn who ever is inside the car to a crisp... For a daily driver you could use the mechanical fuel pump with a fuelcell.. and no, there is no fuelpump inside the stock fueltank, the fuelpump is located at the right side of the engine... If you use a fuelcell you also need to buy a new fuel gauge sender, etc... so al in al you will not save that much money when everything is done, so the cost of a new stock fuel tank is a much smarter investment... and a whole lot less of a headache...

IF you really want a aftermarket get a rons, and they come with an aeromotive pump in the tank, I believe the tank is stainless too?

Thought I saw them on the site some time ago, looks like its update. 

EDIT, they do have them, you may have to look, I forgot to direct link it.  They will also make them deeper or wider if you side exit your exhaust.
