Proper Fuel Cell Winter Storage
 

Put a fuel cell in my stocker this season and was wondering what is protocol for winter storage. Should I drain it completely or ??? Plastic cell with foam inside. Thanks for any tips. - Joe

first step is to get the foam out before it clogs something up. then just drain it

Not to hijack this thread but the replies prompted me to ask the question since a fuel cell is the winter project on my car.

Is removing the foam just part of the winter draining process, or should the foam not be used on a drag car?

Thanks

Do NOT use the foam ,......unless you enjoy headaches. It breaks down and will plug everything.

Pulled the foam out after replacing pump,going thru carb and regulator and flushing lines etc.Not worth the hassle or $$$ it cost me.

It can also make you fail fuel check if you switch fuels.

Chad, my man
What can be added to make you fail, can be added to make you pass also. Think about that for a second. Oh wait a minute it will take you longer than a second to figure that out. HeHe.

I've found it best to remove fuel cell and store it somewhere the temp is consitent. The cell can and will sweat during temp swings and produce condensation. Of course if your vehicle is not subjected to these swings just draining would be in order. IMO. Joe
