WARNING, Shelby 7000 & 8000 Series Continuation Cobra!!!

Good post!

Everyone using a fuel cell should pay attention to this. I found out when the bladder in my Butler literally crumbled apart after 12+ years...I knew nothing about the limited life. What finally caused it to fail was the use of an octane booster containing alcohol. Alcohol should not be used in a bladder unless it is designed for alcohol-based fuels. What effect ethanol in consumer gasoline has probably depends on the percentage, but it does make following the mfg's (Fuel Safe and others) recommendations about replacement even more persuasive.

Hmmm......and what might the gas tank in your new cobra be made of?
