    Has anyone seen these foam cubes to put in a gas tank to prevent sloshing? I was thinking about trying them but I wasnt sure how the fuel sending unit could work with them. How could I make it work? Any ideas? Here is the website: www.evomx.com

    Sloshing is causing what problem? Just the noise?

    The foam is for fuel cells, not stock fuel tanks. The stock sender won't work with the foam. Fuel cells use an enclosed sender that the foam doesn't affect.

    Fuel sloshing won't hurt anything, why worry about it?

    Wasnt concerned... I have Equus gauges and my fuel gauge needle bounces all around when off road just thought it might help with that. Not a big deal. Plus I thought the cubes were cool. Thats all

    Probably cheaper than the foam to buy a better fuel gauge... :)

    Do the gauges use their own fuel sender? If so, is it in a tube or an arm type like stock? If you have the tube style fuel sender, you'd be safe to use the cubes.

    I have the stock fuel sending unit hooked up but I think that is the problem. I am looking for the tube type now. I am replacing the tank with a 21 gal poly tank also.

    JMHO, it looks like these are most beneficial in racing applications, to prevent unwanted body sway when cornering at high speeds. Honestly, I cant see the advantage for putting out your hard earned bucks with negligible to no return on your investment.
