I've been around fuel cells and know that they require maintenance and replacement of the bladders...but this is on a customer's gt build; foam baffles inserted into the 100L tank. Yep...correct, several years ago these were inserted into the tank , I can only guess for keeping the slosh down and now these have disintegrated inside the tank.
Any fuel tank gurus out there, I know that cutting the tank open/and fabricating it back together is an option, but looking for solutions.  |

Flush with water and detergent....Dry it. Maybe 24 hours air blow..use shop vac to get residue out.
Still you won't get it all so I would leave off the in tank screen and put a racor plastic bowl filter on it to separate the inevitable stuff out. Actually better to scrap the tank & install new.. .. |
