Fuel cell foam or no foam.

A full tank of fuel weights about 120 pounds. When i redid the car in 2000 i bought a summit drag cell also full foam. Do i need the foam on the street. However it plays two very important roles.

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. The foam takes up a small volume of the fuel cell so it doesn t change the capacity of the fuel cell by very much. 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. The function most people know is that the foam keeps fuel from sloshing around in the turns.

Full foam fuel safe circle track cell. The foam degrading is from running the tank cell empty and letting the foam dry out. Well first of all all oem tanks are baffled. I ran that cell from 1989 2000 without any signs of the foam breaking down.

The foam is still in good condition and doesn t show signs of breaking down afer 8 years. Some fuels will also do this if you let it sit to long in the cell.
