APilot,
Did you really intend to say/write "fuel cell"? Sclepping along a
5000psi gas bottle and electric motor would take another two-three
big Kolbs.
Just wondering...
regards,
Bob N.

Answer: Yes, I did mean to say fuel cell. A friend of mine thinks that
it is very dangerous to have a few gallons of gas behind the seat in
case of a crash. He installed a fuel cell in his dune buggy for about
$150. The size that he bought will not fit in my Mark III. Seems that
most Kolb pilots do not think of this as a danger.

Sounds to me like folks are thinking two different definitions with
regard to the term fuel cell. Here is what Merriam-Webster says about
"fuel cell".

That is the kind of fuel cell that is supposed to keep our
grandchildren from running out of gas when we are long gone.
I've heard the fuel bladders like those used in some race cars called
fuel cells but that is not standard usage. Of course we have lots of
non-standard users of English on this list, so who cares?
