My .02 on fuel cells is that if a cell is designed with foam that is how it
should be utilized. The design is for your saftey. Placing the cell in a
steel can is not required for our application. The notations about foam
causing damage to a fuel system should serve as a warning to users on the
list. I think we will take a look at the cell in the Alfa when we start our
pre-season maintenance.
