Used fuel cell foam before, its just open cell foam prevents sloshing of the liquid.

[bradders]

make a difference? thinking 9l sloshing about a 17l tank it may be worthwhile, not sure how much weight it adds :lol:

[skidlids]

Doesn't add much weight, I have a decent sized lump of it in the garage.

I doubt if Dallas has had a race bike where he hasn't fitted the baffle foam, I think but would need to check that its a requirement at BSB level and above

[Jolley]

I'm pretty sure they have to use it in 848 challenge too.

[Chaz]

I'm pretty sure they have to use it in 848 challenge too.

Yes they do infact any BSB level have to use it.

[skidlids]

Yes they do infact any BSB level have to use it.

Glad you knew what I meant Chaz, hence the wording 'BSB Level' and not 'BSB Class'

[bradders]

so its a good thing then

lots of small blocks or one big one? How much?

[skidlids]

You will end up cutting it into blocks to get it into the tank, what size blocks depends on the tank and its entry points

[bradders]

so do you fill the tank, half fill it, 1/4?

my simple mind wonder how the fuel gets out again!

Gravity I would imagine Paul, Just been looking it up myself now you have mentioned it. Seems a great addition whilst my tank is off the 996 and the pump is out. Push it in and mould it in it says.
· ELIMINATES FUEL STARVATION UNDER HARD ACELLERATION, CORNERING AND OFF ROAD SITUATIONS.
· ELIMINATES FUEL FROTHING.
· REDUCES RISK OF EXPLOSION IF TANK CATCHES FIRE.
· REDUCES THE DISCHARGE RATE OF FUEL SPILL IF THE TANK IS RUPTURED.
· ELIMINATES FUEL SLOSH AND UNWANTED WEIGHT TRANSFER GREATLY IMPROVING RIDER STABILITY WHEN ITS NEEDED MOST.

Its already in the 848 tank ;)

Its already in the 848 tank ;)

the red one.......

seriously tho, do you squash it all in so it totally fills the tank and you can see it with the cap off?

[skidlids]

I usually pack it in using the biggest Chunks I can squeeze through the hole, although the size does depend on where in the tank they sit as sometimes the front of the tank can be quite shallow

[Jasper]

Is there a UK supplier of this or similar?

[skidlids]

Merlin Motorsport based at Castle Combe use to sell it, not sure if they still do.
Otherwise you can usually find it sold on Ebay

[bradders]

ebay is the link Craig copied from - £5 per 2l block

Oh yeh?
Take the fuel pump out and stuff in from underneath.

Cubes are good - the ones I bought are here;

[bradders]

sorry but no one has said if you fill it to the top - ie you can see it with the cap off...

[Bionicle]

Used to be able to see it from the filler hole on my 1098S dont think it makes that much difference on a DD bike unless your filling your tank to the top, natuarly any petrol not in the foam will slosh around

[Jasper]

Thanks mate.
