How often does  the foam in the fuel cell have to be changed? the ATL web site 
doesn't
specify.  mine is 3yrs old. 

Also, I tried to remove the cell (it's the molded ATL plastic type) only to 
discover that swelling caused it to be an overly tight fit.  I managed to get it
out intact but, does this tight fit cause any ill effect? The container didn't
split. 

Also, noted that while flushing out the fuel with water, the cap leaked when I 
turned
it upside down.  Hopefully another washer under the cap will help seal better.

Finally, doest anyone have a guesstimate for MPG for a race engine?  My stock 
engine
used half a tank per race. It's a lotus TC.

thanks

christopher
