    So I need a new Fuel cell

    Seems that mine is shot. I know a few of you have gone to top load units. What brands and models do you guys and gals recommend?

    Thanks John,
    Unfortunately the case also has a small hole in it. I am not sure if a repair is feasible. Given all that it may be the same cost to replace the whole thing.

    On the possible repair. Any advice on welding that will pass full safety inspections.

    I tried to check that with no luck at the Fuel Safe web site. So just a bladder change then. I like that better.
