Fuel cell foam or no foam.

A full tank of fuel weights about 120 pounds. The foam degrading is from running the tank cell empty and letting the foam dry out. My fule cell is rci i think but the new foam is fuel safe we allready took out the protectie sock from the pick up line and also run a filter before the back up pump and one after w e usually drain the cell after every race ill be opening it up next week ill let you guys know what the problem is maybe the new foam is letting a lot of residue in the pick up line. No foam here 11 years so far with no issues that i m aware of used 15 gallon plastic cell.

Do i need the foam on the street. I ran that cell from 1989 2000 without any signs of the foam breaking down. Otherwise you would literally have fuel flowing out the filler neck on a turn. I have always had the foam in my fuel cells because i run it on the street too but with all the trouble i m having i m looking to eliminate any potential problems.

Full foam fuel safe circle track cell. However it plays two very important roles. Well first of all all oem tanks are baffled. The foam is still in good condition and doesn t show signs of breaking down afer 8 years.

The function most people know is that the foam keeps fuel from sloshing around in the turns. I have no experience with fuel cells but i would imagine for a street car you would absolutely need the foam.
