fuel cell foam
fuel cell foam
i have a 16 gallon fuel cell in my trunk with the plastic looking foam in it.problem is i took the fuel filter off and pulled it apart and found little bits of that plastic in it.it was enough to slow down the fuel a little.anyone ever have this problem,do you pull the foam out of the tank?

Re: fuel cell foam
Are you running other than stock tank? I’ve never run into that issue. I ordered a standard stock tank when I replaced ours.
Re: fuel cell foam

I would get it out of there. it only last so long & even less with pump gas w/ethanol. so if you have found pc.s of it in the filter you know it's already starting to brake down. nip it in the bud

Re: fuel cell foam
Good to know stuff, thanks Joe and Johno. I guess I should look at changing the rubber line going to the carb, no issues yet, but am concerned about heat, it gets pretty hot under the hood.
Re: fuel cell foam
i run no ethanol fuel only,but i have a inline pump and carberated engine.i was hoping i could just remove the foam and it be ok without it in there.
