- In this video we remove the anti sloshing foam from our fuel cell to prevent future clogging fuel system problems on our 1955 chevy 210 gasser build. The first Link is for the fuel cell used in this video. you will also find links to the channel merch store and social media sites. we have also added a membership status to the channel if your looking for a way to support us, consider becoming a member. thanks - bw

![Making A Custom Fuel Tank & More [#UPDATE 303]](/img/1.gif)
First thing I do is throw foam away , 10 gallon cell 20 gallon cell , used both never had any issues with the foam being out. Daily driving or racing.
7:53 I’ve heard of “Brass Balls” but never “Metal Nuts”…is that a local pronunciation like “wudder”?
10:00 those were lonely days
Lol
Never have liked that stuff!
I aint a fan either Rick
I have a cell like this. Need to modify it to work with an in tank pump for EFI / turbo. Probably will end up cutting the bottom out and replacing it with 5052 sheet so I can add baffles.
If I screw it up and have to start over no big deal, it’s a $75 eBay fuel cell and there’s a few thousand available between all the sellers
I got the same tank. I just pulled it out through the fuel hole. Didn’t remove the cap holder
People not realizing these are supposed to be replaced every season/year. If your foam is breaking down from standard pump gas, race gas or e85 you’re buying off brand foam 🤣
I switched to the wiffle balls. Cost a little more but don't break down
Membership👆perks! Phil D Bucket. 👍
O man that would of made a mess of your fuel system. Definitely needed to come out for sure . Great video will take to you later ✌️😎👍
Hi Kevin and I agree 👍🏻👋🏻👋🏻
@@bigjobford1956 Hey Big job I hope your day is going good
Glad to be rid of it for sure
@@bwsgarage Hello Big Job Ford and Kevin L! 👋
Sure glad you found out about that foam before you started driving the car. Strange that they would put that in there if it falls apart after a while..
Absolutely Robbie, it was breaking down dry! Thanks bud 👍
My Pinto Stock Car has a fuel cell. One year we parked it with premium fuel in it instead of race gas. In 2 months the foam half dissolved and plugged up the entire fuel system. After that we only used 110 octane race fuel. It has had the same tank of race fuel for about 12 years now and the foam was still good until I ran it on premium again. That pump gas is caustic!
I was just reading reviews on foam, and alot of people say don't use any foam. I know gasser Dave had same issue as you with clogging fuel system. This foam I pulled out was already breaking down in my hand with zero fuel exposure. Oh and the Phil membership badge looks great on you bud
Hi Turlo 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
I guess I got lucky because I bought my fuel cell used. When I went to install it I noticed that the black foam was starting to fall apart. Glad You caught it in time. 😎👍
Good thing you caught it too brother
Hey Brian.. glad you removed it. I was told by another friend that after awhile the cell material breaks down so I bought new foam from JEGS to replace my original foam before it started to break down (I thought). The new Foam material comes in bricks, that you order according to your tank’s dimensions. When I opened it up to replace the original foam thats when I found out the all the original foam had already broken down and had gotten all into my Fram canister Gas filter and also into the electric fuel pump (it was probably just about to burn up). I was lucky that I also had another fuel filter but the carbs and I caught it before I got to the carbs!!!!! I of course replaced all the fuel filters and the electric fuel pump. I removed all the original foam. strained the gas (had a full tank (of course)), through a bunch of layers of cheese cloth. Dried the tank, and vacuumed it out, and never added the new foam and returned it!!! I never had had an issue with fuel sloshing in the tank causing any starvation issues. The original 55, 56, 57 tanks work well and the didn’t have any sloshing foam in them.
Anyways great job on getting rid of the foam and never look back. Lol
Great knowledge drop based off real experience Dave. I few people I spoke to had similar experiences with that material.
Man that's crazy they would put the foam in there if it falls apart with gas! Good to have good friend to look at for you! Fuel cell is spotless now! So should just just keep it 3/4 to get it from slashing around? Catch you next time BW! 👍
Thats my plan, never below a 1/2 tank 😆, thanks Don
Wouldn't you think the manufactures of these tanks would have sorted out this foam issue by now !!!!
There is a link to the tank in video description, and if you click on it and read the whole thing, there is one line that says, check foam regularly for deterioration. 😆 🤣 I checked before it had any fuel in it ever and decided yep gotta go!
This is an apples and oranges type comparison of information. I ran a real ATL fuel cell in two different roundy round cars for 12 years without issues.
Running leaded race fuel. I sold the car complete and the new owner decided to run it on pump gas with an octane booster. Dumbass move it took him
4 weekends of racing figure out the problem. but that stuff you pulled out looked like packaging material for electronics
I hear ya Grady, it was definitely a cheap knock off of the proper material. Andy Turlo said the same thing, type of fuel makes a big difference too.
Yeah man when my nephew ran late model these car's where nascar pecs, is fuel cell u could take the hole top off and the foam was like bricks in it and blue color. Had a nother one with yellow foam .never had a problem.
I think it has alot to do with the type of fuel your running too, just from comments Turlo and Mr B Real had no issues running race fuel, but when switching to regular gas the foam breaks down
Lol use in recovering Kims seat cushion lol 😜👍🏻
😆 Kim will find a use on one of her crafts I bet
Nice square piece use otherwise for your head under the car’s or your knees 👍🏻😂🥃
I'm with you on that one BW, get that foam out of the tank, looks like trouble, catch you soon buddy
Hwy BW, what size AN fittings are those on your tank?
Dual -10 outlets/dual -10 vent outlets (top of cell)
Thanks!
Hi BW and Kim 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Hey Ron 👋
Hi Big Job!
If you bought it new, leave the foam in it. If the foam is old, sure replace it with new foam. There are other things you can put in there to slow the slosh. I've even heard of sneaking sealed oil containers in it. And run some good filters. But I think you'd be better off with some kind of anti-slosh something working in there. Even if the car is not going side to side, it still is going to slosh front to back.
The foam is defective. 🙂
Heard of a thing called wiggle balls in there.. I heard they work great
I am gonna check into these, thanks
Dont forget to check the fuel level senders float - i saw a video where that broke down too and kept contaminating the fuel
Hey BW. Good video. Thanks for sharing.👍👍
Appreciate you checking it out Andy
Is that cell safe to use with diesel when the foam is out
That would be a manufacturer question, but I can tell you pump gas designates it
We’ve had similar issues with our ATL cell. I believe it’s because of the ethanol content commonly found at the pump now. We changed the foam, and has since used clear gas and tried to keep a low fuel amount during the off season.
Yea, that seems to be the common thing, the cheaper fuel breaks it down.
