Hi All
Sorry for what may be a lame question but I need some advice regarding the fuel tank on my KVA. I am nearing the end of my build and have recently taken off the fuel tank to check a problem. The tank was filled with a wire mesh type material that had small pieces coming off blocking the fuel system. The tank must be quite old now so I can only assume that it has degraded. I have stripped all of this material out and it looks like it was put in after the tank was made anyway.
I would like to know if this material is required to stop the movement of the fuel and if I should find an alternative. Would it be ok to leave it empty (due to the already limted fuel capacity, mine has only one tank) or is this dangerous. The tank is divided in two as I found when removing the mesh so it is not just one long chamber. I have seen that you can buy safety foam from one source but does this take up a lot of the capacity. Any help on this would be great on what to do and information on suppliers.
Thank you
Simon
