slngsht Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I just bought one from Summit to replace my leaking tank. Fortunately I openned up the filler neck to have a look inside.

slngsht Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
