The foam disintegrates first then the bladder will Crack.

You are correct about the purpose of the foam. Baffles will do the same without a shelf life. It doesn't matter much with a street car.

Pulling the foam out through the top port is like pulling a brick through you nose. The tank will be full if bits of foam. i suspect the bladder will collapse. Since it needs the foam to retain shape and be full of foam scraps.

If he doesnt replace the bladder it will eventually fail and we'll be right here again

The OP should contact shelby American or Hillbank for advice.


I eagerly await the results
