RCI Fuel Cells

I just bought one from Summit to replace my leaking tank. Fortunately I openned up the filler neck to have a look inside. It had a fair amount of aluminum shavings in it smileys/smiley7.gif[/img] </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> So much for buying new to make sure it's clean.</p>

Rob, A proper fuel cell, as used in many forms of racing, generally has the following features:

 

 

 

An outer shell

 

An inner bladder - this can deform, so in an accident, it won't just puncture when hit.

 

Foam in the tank, which keeps the fuel from just rushing out in the event of a leak (it'll drip out).

 

 

 

Eventhough RCI calls mine a "fuel cell", it does not have a bladder, which is a pretty important safety feature - and I have to add the foam myself, which I plan on doing.

 

 

 

Hope the info is all correct and it answers your question.
