Fuel Safe Racing Fuel Cells and Bladder Tanks

Alcohol - (Methanol,Ethanol) This fuel requires specific materials and aluminum hardware to be treated. This fuel can be harmful to certain items such as safety foam and certain bladder materials.
Baffle (bladder material) - Deflects fuel flow in a cell to an area you want it to go for better performance.
Baffling (safety foam) - Slows fuel cell slosh while providing explosion resistance. All Fuel Safe gasoline cells come with foam.
B.C.(Bolt Circle) - The diameter of an imaginary circle drawn through the center of each lug hole; also referred to as the bolt pattern.
Bottom Ring - In sprint cells, a 6 x 10 plate mounted in the cell on the vertical face behind the rear end.
Bung - A weld-in threaded fitting that will accept AN or pipe fittings; must specify AN or NPT.
Can - The container or enclosure that provides containment and protection to a bladder.
Check Valve - A device that allows flow in one direction only.
Collector/Surge Tank - An area within a cell that traps or contains fuel to ensure steady supply and maximum usage.
Dry Break Valves - Valves which form a relatively leak-proof connection for rapid refueling. (female on vehicle; male on fuel supply)
Fill Plate - Bolted assembly that typically has a fill cap or hose attachment for filling a tank.
4 x 6 - A standard size, 12 bolt, oval plate that covers a 4" x 6" hole; the plate measures closer to 5" x 7".
Heel Flapper - A check valve used in standard fill applications.
Height - The measurement from top to bottom of the bladder or container listed.
Hydrocarbon Fuels (Gasoline, Diesel, AVGAS) - A fuel that requires specific materials to be used in the construction of a fuel cell. This fuel will damage alcohol-specific bladders.
Length - The measurement from side to side in the car. Typically cells are mounted in a vehicle with the longest dimensions left to right. Your application may differ.
Nipple - A ballistic fabric-reinforced flexible outlet or inlet into which a tube can be clamped.
Nutring - A device on the inside of bladder openings that has threads to accept bolts securing a plate.
Pickup - The hose and/or fitting through which fuel will be delivered to the engine.
Raw - Untreated plates and fittings, no finish applied. Should not be used with alcohol.
Remote Fill - A cell that is filled anyplace other than with a cap mounted directly on the cell.
Return - Fitting or hose through which excess fuel is sent back to a cell.
Sender (Fuel Level Sender) - Typically an electronic item that sends a signal to your fuel level gauge.
6 x 10 - A standard size 24-bolt oval plate which actually covers a 6" x 10" hole; the plate measures closer to 7.5" x 11.75".
Standard Fill - A cell which is filled through a cap mounted directly on the cell.
Top Pickup - In sprint cells, where the pickup fitting is mounted via a special fitting above the rear end of the car.
Width - The measurement from front to back of the cell in the car. Typically the cells are mounted in a vehicle with the longest dimensions left to right.
