[NSRCA-discussion] Fuel tanks

Ive had good success with DuBro sintered bronze (?) clunks.  The ones that look like
they are made from tiny bronze color BBs.   They seem to break up any foam & bubbles.

 John I remember running a foam insert but I don't remember if it helped. What I do remember is it deteriating and getting crap into the fuel lines. I think another thing that might help is the foam clunk from YS. It's supposed to help keep fuel supply even during the moments in flight when pickup might be lost. Right now I'm more concerned with sloshing electrons around.      Mike

I am running a 24 oz tank right now for practice but would like to run either a smaller tank or less fuel load for contests.
This has me thinking...seems I once heard that NASCAR runs some kind of foam in their gas tanks to eliminate sloshing.
Anyone ever heard of or tried something similar in a model?
