    FFR Fuel Cell?

    Hey, any chance you guys will start stocking the Fuel Cell for these cars again?
    I think you used to carry it for around $1,600.
    Sure would be nice to have that option again!

    Wasn't one of the problems w/ the originals that the foam used to degrade VERY quickly? Call me crazy but I don't think pulling out fuel cell foam on a street car, on a regular basis, is fun, heh.

    Foam in orginal fuel cell had no issues (or at least I had no issues with), NASA/SCCA passed a rule that bladders have to replaced every 5 years, the orginal cell was a real PIA to replace the new cell is quick and easy but still costs $700+ but all-in-all happy with new cell over original cell

    John,

    We are no longer carrying the fuel cell. You should be able to get a replacement right from Fuel Safe.

    Best regards,

    John,

    Brian is right and while we may bring em back, the challenge has been more complicated than just selling them. The fuel cells are HUGE money on inventory and they arent huge sellers. I was struggling with not selling them (we are kinda racer guys) but the economics of them hit hard. There is still a future, but for now no, Brian is right on.

    No way to set up a drop ship arrangement? Perhaps another vendor would do it? I'm guessing you looked into all of this, but...
