The Eternal Fuel cell storage question

[Steve Demeter]

First of all Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Second, the eternal question: store it full or store it empty. Fuel is 100 AVGAS

[Raleigh]

I have a spare fuel cell date stamped 1980 that has not been used in 25+ years. No cracks and is still fully flexible. Of course if it was ever to be re used it would be tested and certified as is allowed by the Regs. Not sitting filled with Fuel/chemicals certainly has not done any harm.

I store my Eagle cell full of 93 Unleaded (E10) over the winter. Eagle says that keeping it full is best.

With 100LL Avgas (no ethanol) I think I'd store any cell full.
