      Fuel sump issue

      Has anyone ever tried stuffing a gas tank with foam to prevent the fuel sloshing issue? Would that eliminate the need for a sump? A friend stopped over and said they put it in the stock car tanks to prevent starvation. Any thoughts?

      I believe the purpose of fuel tank foam is to prevent an explosion. At least that's the way the tank was constructed (baffles and foam) on my modified dirt track car.

      Sure. Foam is an excellent baffling technique. It functions like millions of little baffles.
