I know about this all only too well!
There is already a thread a couple of years old from me about it.
My 42 gal Fuel Safe cell went to complete sh__.
Bladder was deteriorating and inside "foam" was all eaten up.
Can't remember how much to replace the cell when I called Fuel Safe, but it was several thousand dollars (thinking around $4k).
Pulled the aluminum tank and shipped it across country to Mickmate who installed baffles, reserve pickup area and plumbing, welded the lid on and tested it. Sounds extreme, but Fuel Safe actually told me 4 years on their bladder setups and I'm just not going to do that!
If I race someday again, I'll figure it out. For now, all is good.
