When I was working with Formula Ford teams one time we got a bad batch of gas in the garage. Filled all the cars with it in preparation for race day. Whatever additive was in there caused ALL the fuel cells to promptly disintegrate. What a mess that was. We THINK it was a "tipping point" due to the age of the gas tanks, fuel cells do have a limited life span. These were foam cells. ERA has baffles and even one way doors in their gas tanks, by the way.

Not likely the case here, just saying,,, be careful where you get your gas!
