Default Fuel cell problems

So my Fuel Safe fuel cell in SPF 678 was 11 years old so I removed it this year to replace the bladder in the tank. I contacted Fuel Safe and gave them my serial number of the cell and even took pictures and sent to them. That was on the 25th of last month, and after a couple of emails I still have no answer and no replacement bladder?

Any ideas from members out there on how to proceed? I have considered even putting a regular tank back in it as I do not track the car, but it would be really easy to just replace the bladder and put it back in with the same wiring and piping.

Help please?

There are several posts about this if you do a search.
Surprised that you went that long with a Fuel Safe cell.
I pulled my 42 gal tank and bladder, then sent the tank to Nick Acton (Mickmate) and had him install baffles etc in the tank and weld it all up. No more fuel cell.
Fuel Safe says 4 years for their cells and wait until you get a price for a new one!

Even if you do it yourself, I would recommend talking to Nick about how to baffle it and install a scavenging box around the pickups.

Just my 2 cents....

Have you called them?

I recently replaced my bladder. I called them and they were very helpful. Shipped out the new bladder within a week.
