I'm finding that buying an off the shelf fuel bladder is much more economical than having a custom one made to the exact size of the enclosures that are built into the tunnels of my race car. However, the off the shelf variety are not the exact size of my enclosures.
What are the ramifications of using a bladder that is dimensionally larger by a few inches in my enclosures? By my reasoning, it would be equivalent to fitting a large size bag inside a medium size box, which is imperfect but functional, and after stuffing with foam might even be a bit safer in terms of it's resistance to rupturing in case the enclosure is damaged in a wreck. Capacity is not really an issue, I won't be doing any endurance jaunts.
