anyone running fuel cells in their car? i was just wondering does fuel seem to evaporate faster out of fuel cell? i do not see any leaks nor smell fuel. the car had a few gallons of fuel and was not driven for a couple weeks. seemed to evaporate. of course i do not have a fuel guage on it so i guesstimate there was half tank out of 15 gallon fuel cell. just wondering if anyone else had probs ---

race fuel evaporates faster than regular fuel, so it could… I store my drag cars full of fuel and never noticed them being lower… :dunno: ---

this is 93 octane. my old boss always drained his fuel cell after racing so was never a prob. this is on a street car that hasn’t ben driven much. ---

Maybe the Cunningham brothers are coming through with a siphon when you’re not around so they can fill up their shit boxes with some premium. ---

mine doesn’t seem any different than my stock tank. My cell if foam filled, is yours? Also how is your vent routed? I have mine come up off the cell to the top of the trunk then down to the trunk floor. ---

mine is foam filled. i think that may be source of another problem too. when should the foam be repalced? i am gonna pull it out and see if runs any better once weather clears up a bit. the fuel cell is mounted under the bed of the truck. the vent is more less right there. i have a gas filler door in bed of truck to access the fuel cell. ---

i have foam in mine, no issues, i think to stop the movement (starve the line or pump) I do notice mine seems low but then again any time i take it out. LOL ---

i would put a hose on the vent fitting and route it downward under the bed to trap gas vapors in as much as you can. i have had my cell 4 years and never had a to change the foam. ---
