[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 5818103, member: 9628"] I will not be paying $1400 for my cell repair, Mark has a much sweeter deal. The decission I have to make is...........do I want to buy the replacement cell/bladder from Mark and attempt it myself with some possible help from a somewhat local member who has done this before? OR do I want to pay shipping and send my cell from FL. to OR. and back and have Fuel Safe do the repair which is also part of Marks sweet deal. I do want the replacement parts to fit/seal properly, which I am not sure that another brand could guarantee. From what I see on the Fuel Safe site, this fuel cell has three holes/flanges, one on the side for the fuel filler tube and two on the top, one for the sending unit/fuel pump assy. and one oval access hole.<<<I think. The tank is also "stepped" (taller on the right side) to fit in the late model Mustang underbody so it is not your average rectangle or square fuel cell. For those who are purests, collectors and car show guys, I have questioned Fuel Safe about their repair facility and how a cell is handled and repaired...............They do all work on a carpeted work bench to minimize the chance of causing scratches on the cells black powder coated outer surface. <<<This will be of special interest to a wrapper owner when his/her fuel cell starts to drip. I also questioned them about old/outdated stickers or any other original information that is on the outer tank..............."is any of this original info. altered? do they die-stamp anything with new dates etc.?"
