Ron, what about using one of the other lower cost fuel safe bladders/internals? Most of the containers are the same maybe one of the lower cost ones would be a better way to go. I would not want to glue a hole in the bladder only to have a problem later when you need to rely on it to hold under pressure. I hate to toss it out, but in the event of a crash would you rather have a new safer cell then the patched one, and is your safety worth more then $40 bucks?

Fuelsafe has a couple of models, the FT3 which is approved for all major sanctioned events, but looks to be the 'plastic' vs the rubber/urethane bladder. Likely much less costly (Might fit the same container). They also have one that is non-approved but is likely the same as the FT3. They might be a good balance between cost and safety.
