I ordered some of this Duocel stuff. It's sheets of 'foamed' 6101-T6 aluminum. I'm going to form a brick that will slip into the stock oil filler tower and hopefully provide significant oil vapor separation from the crankcase ventilation air. Ideally, by slipping this into the stock tower, I can run the breather tube to a carb or FI intake and not have to stress/dealwith large quantities of oil collecting in the intake or fouling the carbs.
Why not a traditional foam? This stuff won't break down over time. Not cheap though. Each 4" x 4" x 0.5" sheet is $30. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif) Oh and if this works it'll appear Original while being Custom. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) Attached image(s) ![]() ![]() |

Why not a traditional foam? This stuff won't break down over time. The fuel cell foam I've had in my race car breather can shows no sign of breakdown yet, after 12 years and more than 100 races. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Cost of foam in a Tangerine Racing breather can - less than $1, and it looks an awful lot like that picture of Duocel. |

Under what conditions would fuel cell foam break down? My friend, driving a birkin 7, running regular old 92-93 from the pump, had the foam in his cell break down after 3-4 seasons. He stored the car winters with a full tank of fuel. Last season he had fuel delivery issues, I told him to check the fuel cell, the foam had come apart into little chunks, was blocking the fuel line, and the fuel filter was clogged. He had to take a bunch of the car apart to remove and clean the fuel cell out, and now takes the foam out over the winters and plans to replace it every couple yrs. Maybe he had different foam from what you are using? Are there different brands or grades of foam? |
