Really!!! Did not know that.

If the bid prices on eBay were no so great between foam & non-foam tanks I wouldn't be asking/writing all of this.

So why do fuel cell manufacturers even sell cells w/o foam? Whether hard a hard launch at the drag strip, sharp cornering on the street of up or down a LONG STEEP hill the need for foam seems obvious. But again ..... as long as a fuel cell has a reasonable amount of gas in it I would suspect there would be NO need for foam???????? Or enough foam to prevent from sloshing away from the outlet.

I could see how ANY amount of foam would be BETTER than NONE.... same with the amount of gas in the cell.... not letting a cell get almost empty would be important .... and avoiding steep hills ...ha!!!!
