My '04 SR3 is in dire need of a new fuel cell (lines and filters fill up with foam every 2-3 hrs of running). Does anyone know the best way to remove the cell? Does it come up through the cockpit? On my car it looks like that requires drilling out a bunch of rivets to access it, which I'd rather not do until I know that will actual give me the access I need.

Also, for a new tank, is there a major downside to the aluminum tanks? According to the Radical site they are waay cheaper. http://secure2.cyberware.co.uk/~rad-shop/acatalog/...

Thanks so much guys.

Why not replace the tank foam. Unless you are doing any FIA events or suspect the tanks integrity you won't need an in date bag tank. I would tidy up what you already have and save some money.

That's definitely an option, which I'll be better able to assess once the tank is out of the car. Any idea on the process for removing it?
