I have a Fuel Safe cell in my car; it's the Fox body Mustang replacement cell developed for the 351R Mustang. It's not required for my use, But I like it for a number of reasons. I know the bladder and foam need to be replaced periodically, and I currently have two choices.

1. Because the tank is complicated, they do not recommend an owner rebuild
Remove the tank, pack and ship to Fuel Safe.
They will replace baldder and foam only, and re-use the can, plates, fittings, etc.
Wait 6-8 weeks for it to return, and then install.
Down time 2 months or more
Cost, about $1,900.

2. Buy a new cell.
R&R in an hour or two.
Get all new everything.
Down time, about 2 hours.
Cost, about $2,100.

Then I can give the tank to some one who might want the parts off it for something. Or might be willing to attempt a rebuild.

Guess which option I'll be choosing?
