    Default Fuel cell

    I bought a 2011 Rayburn and the fuel cell does not have foam, or a roll over valve in it. Actually, I don't even see a vent on top. There is your pick up line, and the return line, and that's all. Can someone please steer me in right direction on what needs to be done,''if anything''.

    has to be vented somewhere----and the "roll over valve" would be in the vent
    the cap is probably the vent with a little rubber flapper valve to serve as roll over protection

    we have seen problems with that sort of vent

    Brad, thanks for responding. I will take a closer look at the cap to see if it is vented. Also, should I buy foam for the inside or leave it open?

    in my opinion----foam is more of a chassis thing than safety related
    I am sure that can be debated

    IMO the foam keeps the fuel load from impacting the right side so hard on corner entry

    check your rules and manufacturers recommendation

    Foam has a reputation for coming apart and clogging the fuel filter. I haven't used it but this is just what I've heard so I've avoided it.
    I've heard of people filling the cell with wiffle balls to keep the sloshing down. Seems like that should work.
