Fuel Pump,Battery ,Fuel cell in same space

[1971ford]

Hi,Just after a few guidelines with whats allowed or preferred with Battery,Fuel Pump and Fuel Cell sharing the same space.
The cars a 71 falcon.Original fuel tank removed and a sheet metal floor in it's place.
It has a bulk head where the rear seat was sealing the boot area from the passenger compartment.
Inside the boot area I have the battery,battery leads,fuel pump and filter,fuel pump relay.Jaz fuel cell which will be fitted on top of the sheet metal floor and braided fuel lines.
Can all this stuff occupy the same space.The cell will be internally filled and will have the filling overflow drains and floor drains ect,and the battery will be in a sealed container,
All electrical cables will be up out of the cavity where the fuel cell sits.
Any recommendations appreciated.
Cheers Grant

Sounds like you are going the right direction, but grab a copy of the chapter 10 of the Car Construction Manual for the detail for Fuel System requirements - www.lvvta.org.nz/shop/chapter-10-fuel-systems/ - page 5 should answer your question but the other sections are also equally relevant.
