That was cool. I like to learn and these episodes really help my understanding of what all is involved. Question: how often does the foam in the Fuel Cell need to be changed out?
Glad you're enjoying the series GMAN! So the foam SHOULD last the life of the fuel cell, but last season we actually had to remove as much of the foam as we could on a race weekend, because one of the cars foam began deteriorating and clogging the fuel pump and jet pumps. It was a known issue by VW Motorsport but never remedied unfortunately.
Hi. excuse me I have a 2016 GOLF GTI TCR and always the fuel pressure drops to 1~2BAR after about 2~3 hours of operation. even lower. lead to flameout. . Power off, then on again for a while, and it works normally again. .During this time, the fuel pump/filter/pipe. Replaced and cleaned. It's still the same. I would like to ask what might be the problem. thanks
Why don't you need the pumps in four corners why would they burn out and y is there 4 pumps if u don't need them please elobrate more this is so intriguing

Excellent presentation. I don't own a track car, but I always wanted to know how a fuel cell works.
Glad you were still able to enjoy the video without having a race car yourself Redbeak! We have a bunch more episodes on the way.
