I have been looking at the Fuel Safe FSS-ED115 (15gal) for my pro-touring project... it's a lot of money...let's be honest, 762.10 from racerpartswholesale.

Are they worth it: Tell me your stories. Or ATL vs Fuel Safe?

I plan on doing 3 track days a year plus 4 auto crosses in my Dart, plus 5k highway miles. I plan on getting 15 mpg highway,

It's just hard to pull the trigger on an 800 dollar part that imparts no glamor.

I have done my research quite a bit and it looks like to run in an SCCA event I need to be FIA certified...or run a stock tank in a stock location, which is not possible because the P.O put a cage in and welded the floor flat with a sheet of steel...

So do I just spend the money and do it right?

In my opinion 800 bucks < a fiery, crispy crash... but damn 800 bucks for a gas tank....

800 plus regular maintenance. Foam and bladders have short lifespans.

Foam and bladders will usually last about 10 years. I know that at that age the one I used in my Mustang (Fuel Safe) was still good except that the fuel sump, where the in-tank pump went, detached itself from the main bladder and allowed fuel to leak out. Anything below half tank resulted in momentary lost fuel pressure in the turns. At $800 that cell is cheap. The "race" cert. "stock location cell" for the Fox & SN95 Mustangs is up around $2K!
