fuel cell foam?

i just took the cap and ring out of my cell so i could put some bulkhead fittings in for return lines and found my foam in bad shape.it just went to hell when i took it out.it was also in the filter i had run with the toilet system.i never had this problem before,with gas.does alky eat the foam?its a tall prostock cell and i'm thinken it would work without any foam.

Must still be cold up there

Bought a 4 gallon cell last month,first thing I did was took the foam out.

Justin could've told you that! I'm sure he runs alky in his dad's lawn mower

is this just for alky ???? or for gas also and why ??

we don't run the foam either but then again we run aluminum fuel cells that do not come with it. How bad Q16 smells I would rather not chance putting it in the foam. It might be fine but I don't know. We keep our cell fuel anyway so the sloshing is kept to a minimum.

just didnt know .... i learn something everyday

Menthanol eats the foam up.Gas won't.

thanks guys,thats why i asked.i never had gas do this,so i figured it was a meth thing.

X 3 I took the foam out for alky.
