Default fuel cell foam ?

Has anyone had any problems with fuel cell foam breaking down and clogging the fuel system ? I can get the cell both ways , I would hate to have that stuff go south on me.

The additives in gasoline and more so in racing fuel mess with fuel cells and fuel pumps over time. One of the harshest being Sunoco. Happy thought!

It WILL break down over time......three or four seasons of racing and then start cloging fuel sysetems quick and all the time. If you do use it replace every other year to be safe. A trick used in dirt racing is to use wiffle balls (the plastic balls with holes in them) or a cheaper and easier alternative is to take 1 1/2" PVS pipe and drill 3/4" holes in the sides so that fuel can move around but control slosh with out breaking down like foam.

Hope this helps.

Default A heartfelt thanks ...

I just had a feeling that it would be a problem , and the car wont be a daily driver so it would just sit there and eat at it . My orig tank has no baffles or foam is that the norm in cobra builds ? do i need anything at all ?
