What are y'all running for a fuel cell. Required by SVRA:
M: Fuel Cells Fuel Cells: All cars, other than pre-war, must have a Fuel Cell that meets FIA FT-3 specification or equivalent SFI 28.3 specification. The Fuel Cell “Bladder” must be maintained according to the manufactures recommendations. There must be a solid bulkhead (fire wall) completely separating the fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel cell, filler neck hoses, and/or vent lines, from the drivers compartment. Vent lines must exit the trunk/bodywork area. |

How old is the bladder and foam? It should not be spalling.
I have a nearly 20-yr-old ATL and the bladder is still in good shape. Car was stored inside in a climate-controlled garage and was never let with fuel sitting in it. I removed it from the container, pulled out all the old foam bits (foam was degrading), fully inspected the bladder and re-used it with new foam. Some orgs require bladder replacement after 5 years (SCCA does not), I never saw the need. I remove and inspect mine annually replace the foam every five years or so, and pump out all the fuel before winter storage. |
