bulkhead vs metal can for cell

[cparsons]

I've read the rules and can't find anything to indicate that the bulkhead separating the cockpit from the fuel cell /engine area can't be part of the metal can protecting the fuel bladder. Both are required elements. Is it ok to incorporate 1 side of the protective can for fuel cell as a bulkhead between cell and cockpit? The bulkhead will be padded and be the back of my seat and also serve as 1 side of the protective enclosure for the fuel bladder.

That's the way my RF-94 is (if that helps).

My seat is the metal container for the fuel cell on my car.
Should be ok.

Thanks Russ, Jerry. I was racking my brain and just couldn't remember seeing it done. Reading the rules didn't help.

My Van Diemens and Citation are the same way.
