I appreciate all the responses. Well, I made it home from Arizona (back to CO) thanks to JB Weld and fuel tape. The bladder completely came apart at the fill nipple that sticks out at the top of the tank (same as D-Cells post pic). The plan I came up with was to keep the fuel level well below the nipple level the rest of the way home. 15 fuel stops later (no joke) we made it back safely. FYI Fuel Safe had no replacement in stock and didn't know what size the bladder was or have a part number to reference. They said I would need to take the tank out and ship it to them so they could custom make a new bladder. They were VERY friendly and actually brainstormed with me (JB Weld) to help me get on my way. The bladder was 9 years old. This has been a learning experience as I had just purchased the car and was driving it home as my first Cobra ownership experience. The car is awesome and so was the 1100 mile trip home.
