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

I have been converting a lot of cells back to tanks. The addition of a couple of baffles makes them a lot stiffer and the fuel can't eat gaskets, foam and bladders that aren't in there anymore. I'm really excited about a spark suppression I've been installing in all the tanks I make now. Combat vehicles are using it for the safety aspect. It also works as a baffle, outlasts the container, weighs and displaces very little. There is a great demo video of it here. The Problem & The DSS

I know about this all only too well!
There is already a thread a couple of years old from me about it.
My 42 gal Fuel Safe cell went to complete sh__.
Bladder was deteriorating and inside "foam" was all eaten up.
Can't remember how much to replace the cell when I called Fuel Safe, but it was several thousand dollars (thinking around $4k).
Pulled the aluminum tank and shipped it across country to Mickmate who installed baffles, reserve pickup area and plumbing, welded the lid on and tested it. Sounds extreme, but Fuel Safe actually told me 4 years on their bladder setups and I'm just not going to do that!
If I race someday again, I'll figure it out. For now, all is good.
