[DPPI - Mark Craig]

Exactly, you only need these dang expensive things once, so make sure they are good for that, hopeful never need, one time.

I had a 30 year old ATL bladder delaminate ( it had been in storage). When I spoke to ATL about getting a replacement they indicated that the design life is 5 years, but would not commit to saying how long it would be safe to use a cell after that.  Best to inspect and use good judgement.

I have a Fuel Safe Sportsman fuel cell.  I’d always been under the impression that these things aged out.  My vintage organization does not require certification or date tags, however, unlike on seat belts.

I called Fuel Safe, talked to a helpful tech, and he said if the bladder isn’t leaking, if the foam isn’t breaking down and showing up in the fuel filter, and the bladder is still flexible, no cracking, it could last for 20 years.

It should be inspected, but they were not pushing to sell me a new one.  Just saved $700 bucks.  Makes you wonder about the FIA language, should you be planning to race in Europe:

2 FUEL BLADDER LIFETIME
No fuel bladders shall be used for more than 5 years after the date of manufacture, unless reinspected and recertified by the manufacturer at the end of this 5 year period, for a supplementary period of up to 2 years after the date of recertification not exceeding 7 years after the date of manufacture.
