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. |

Mine's a fuel safe 15 gal with the internal pickup box that traps fuel through little trap doors.
Note the screen type in line filter on the pickup line. Highly recommend it. There was enough debris on it to starve the engine by my second tank of fuel. Looked like bits of plastic so not happy with Fuel Safe. I clean it out every race day and still get a bit after two years so look into the ATL first, just sayin. Attached thumbnail(s) |

John, about the contaminate are you finding in the filter that is so weird.... is it small pieces of the fuel cell foam? (same color as the foam perhaps) I know they disintegrate after a few years and replacing the cell foam (crazy expensive) is a maintenance item now and then. I pull my fuel filter 1x a year and it is almost always absolutely clean I have found a blade of grass in it once, and other small items. but 2 out of 3 years it is spotless. weird. brant |

Now it's just a 5 minute part of the fueling drill just take it apart squirt a shot of brake keen in reverse direction & blow it out. Not happy though. |
