I need a bit of advice, and was hoping someone might be able to help.
It seems that I need to remove the fuel cell from my Bugeye race car to do some maintenance. My plan is to drain the cell as best I can, unhook all of the fuel lines, and then proceed with removing it from the car.
From a safety perspective, is there anything else I should do to avoid potential danger?
At one point, I remember someone telling me that to minimize fumes (from the foam still in the cell?) and the potential for fire, it would be best to fill the tank with water prior to removal.
Has anyone heard of such a procedure, and if not can you think of any downside to this?
Thanks for any collective wisdom you can provide.
Dave
