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.  |

Foam problem solved...thank you all for your input !
Next up is the 2nd tank...it has a filler cap that has "Mated" itself to the filler neck...won't budge and we are not looking to butcher it off of its resting place either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) We came up with soaking the filler neck with pB blaster for a week, and trying to wrench it off with a toothed-neoprene belt ; no-go. More pB soaking, and another few days with the tank inverted for more soak...nada So my bud found an adjustable "Pin" wrench online, did a bit of custom contour grinding and presto >> hit the jackpot.  |
