Bill, I can not speak from 6 cylinder experience, but I have an 8 gallon cell 
in my TR3 and have done 45 minute races finishing with 1/4 tank.  I would think 
that it would just make it for an hour.  My TR3 has a big cam, fairly high 
compression, carbs very rich, etc.  Joe(B)

I am rebuilding a GT6 - hopefully in time for the MG/TR challenge at the
Mitty.
The current fuel cell in it is 15 gallons but this seems excessive. Yes it
is nice to have the weight in the a@@ to balance the heavy nose but I would
like to lighten the car. I do like to do the 1 hour enduros, and even the
1.5 hour ones, but as long as I can run for an hour with out refueling I
think that is ok. Do any of you have a feel for what size cell I should
install. I have not raced this car before so I am not sure what the gpm is.
Thanks for the help
Bill
