If you get a fuel cell with a bladder and foam, as you should, it ought to have a one way valve on the filler and on the filler vent. Otherwise when your cobra flips over, gas will get to pour out the 2" diam hole, then get ignited by the sparks from your rollbar as you skid upside down onto the infield. The easy way is to insert a plastic locking gas cap into the lemans assy, look at a newer SPF to see what I mean by that.
