Anytime your car is going to be parked for an extended period , drain the fuel system and seal everything up tight . Hopefully you've timed it so there isn't much fuel left in the car . The fuel you drain out can be stored carefully and re-used , but you're better off just starting the new season with fresh fuel .
The foam is in the cell for a very good reason and needs to remain there . The cell manufacturers don't include it just for the hell of it . Make sure the foam is top quality , and is manufacturerd for the type of fuel you're using ( gasoline , methanol , or nitro ) . I f you need to replace the foam , contact the company that made your cell or any of the top rated fuel cell manufacturers . They will make sure you get a quality product . Foam will normally last for years unless you run the wrong type of fuel through it or use poor quality or incorrect foam .
