Fuel cell in R53

For those with track rats, has anyone installed a fuel cell? If so can you provide details on the installation regarding what you did for fuel pump and how you dealt with the LDP/DMTP (evaporative emissions/tank leak detection) system?

Thinking about doing a cell in our Lucky Dog/ChampCar enduro car.

I've added the cell to our car. I used a submersible Audi pump mounted in the cell. All the evap stuff at the tank and associated hoses removed. The valve at the end of the head is still in place with the ends capped adn the electrical connection still hooked to it.
