Fuel Cell
 
3 Attachment(s)

Just posted here because I thought more people will likely see it here. I am trying to determine how old this fuel cell is and I didn't get any hits to help on Google search so I thought I would try here. There are a lot of people on here that know a lot more about sprint cars than I do. I've been around sprints for awhile and can't remember seeing anything like this so it must be an older cell. I have attached a couple of photos to help determine it's age. Made by Fuel Bladders Inc. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Looks like a late 80s to mid 90s FBI fuel cell and bladder.

It is a Saldana, the headrest gives it away. Could be as early as late 70's.

After seeing other pictures the other poster is right. It's a Saldana tank with an FBI bladder or maybe just an FBI bottom plate in it.

Late 70s to mid 80s

36 gallon. The Hazen #57 ran one up till this century. Stanbrough would know the exact make.

This is a old Joe Saldana tank that used a FBI bladder. It is not the same as the current owners of Saldana Racing have although they may still have the mold from buying out Joe. I have one of these up in my attic off the car I won the AZ. championship with. Just some more junk I should throw away LOL.

This is either a LST or a LST 2. Either a 35 gallon or a 42 gallon shell. I should have both shells here, but not the bladder. I can have one built if you need it.
