Re: Proper Fuel Cell Winter Storage
I believe the foam is intented to prevent sloshing, since we go straight (no turns under a load) it is less than critical.
Now as far as sloshing backwards that is why there is a sump and the pickup in the rear. I do not know what positive purpose it serves in a drag car? I have never run one in any of my cars for the past 22 years and have never had a problem.
Makes changing fuel at events easier from the standpoint of no cross contamination of fuels, thus failing fuel check.
The fuel should be stored in a cool place over the winter whether it is in the fuel cell or the fuel container. Fuel has no feelings and it does not know where it is being stored.
I leave my C12 in the fuel cell sealed up at 40 degrees, (my shop or garage is not heated) lol Never had a n issue at the first race of the year due to I believe being sealed and keep out the sun in a cool environment.
I am open to any insights that would help performance or safety?
