Why isn't anyone talking about the cloth bladder? This is what makes a true fuel cell much safer, not the foam. The bladders from Fuel Safe or ATL are the key to the fuel not going everywhere during a crash. You can have them made to whatever your custom tanks are, but they will be substantially more expensive than off the shelf models, and probably more than most replicar people want to spend. Some sanctioning bodies may require their use. Particularly in the type of cars these GT40s are.

The fillers and vent valves also work much better at preventing fuel spillage in a crash.
