SuperCarSunday Feb 3rd.

[Doug Liedblad]

Anyone interested?

A breakfast drive to the Rock Store included.

[slomove]

We will be there, about 8:15.

But we will probably drive past the Rock Store. We want to go a bit further before I tear the Seven apart (sheet metal repair and some other preventive maintenance things).

[Doug Liedblad]

I'll be there if it's not raining or too wet, which it currently is.

[mopho]

Have fun! My car is up on blocks, so no driving for me


.

[prabjohns]

I will try and drag my carcass out of bed, shove it in the Birkin and meet you guys there between 7:45/8:15
(if it's not wet)
(the road that is, not my carcass...)

Why is your car on blocks?

Are you being punished by the wife? Again!

[mopho]

No, I am being punished by my fuel cell again. Clogged fuel filter I hope.

Sucks because I would have had a hall pass for the whole day, grrr. Guess I will go beat myself up on the bicycle for a few hours

[Doug Liedblad]

What does the fuel cell maker have to say about your trauma?

I know other cars with fuel cells with foam and they don't seem to have this much trouble.

[slomove]

Maybe I should not say this to avoid bad karma but my Fuel Safe cell is holding up for maybe 8 or 9 years. I read somewhere that the yellow stuff used by Fuel Safe and ATL is superior to e.g. Jegs material but who knows.

I was tempted to replace the bladder and foam since it is way beyond recommended life but decided to keep using it.

[mopho]

Haven't contacted them, I don't recall if the the foam I put in last time was from ATL or of another manufacturer (got it at Earl's)

It has been 4 years since I last changed the foam and according to the internets that is about right with the added ethanol in CA gas.
Also to note, I don't know yet if the foam has broken down or it is something else, the car is having fuel starvation issues so I am assuming that is the cause.
If it is, I am going to try eliminating the foam altogether and see what happens.
