Fuel Tank Foam |
Riverside, CA (9/27/2007) -
IMS, the world leader in high performance
fuel systems is proud to announce the addition
of EVOmx Fuel Tank Foam to its current lineup
of products. IMS is at the forefront of cutting
edge fuel systems, and the new EVOmx Fuel Tank
Foam carries on that tradition.
EVOmx is a reticulated foam product (a process
that removes the membranes from foam cells yet
leaves the skeletal structure) and has proven
to be beneficial for off-road, MX, Street/Road
Race, and ATV applications.
Reticulated foam was originally designed for
military helicopters as part of the original fuel
cell technology and is currently FAA approved
and used throughout the aviation industry. By
removing the membranes in cells, you end up with
a web structure that prevents surging but allows
liquids to flow at a high rate. This eliminates
sudden and violent sloshing of fuel within the
tank. The foam has a 30 year lifespan and will
not break down or cause fuel contamination. It
is easily inserted into your tank in just a few
minutes and displaces only 2 -3% of the tanks
fuel capacity. These small open cell units weigh
virtually nothing, yet carry huge benefits:
1. Weight Transfer Stability-
When you brake hard going into a corner with a
half tank of fuel, you have basically 9-14 pounds
of fuel surging forward and unnecessarily pre-loading
your front suspension while simultaneously unloading
the rear. Not only does this surging action take
up valuable stroke, it also is unpredictable and
subject to terrain changes that the rider has
no control over. EVOmx Foam gives the rider back
this control by controlling this weight transfer.
2. Lack of Vibration-
When your fuel tank drops to ¾ full during
the course of an event, engine/frame/transferred
shock vibrations are turned into high frequency
vibrations within your fuel tank. These vibrations
transfer directly to your bars and then into your
hands. The result, more fatigue and an increased
possibility of "arm-pump". EVOmx greatly
reduces these vibrations and lets you feel the
engine, not the fuel tank vibrating. EVOmx in
effect acts as a vibration damper that lets you
really feel what your bike is doing.
3. Sound Damping-
With the addition of EVOmx Foam, you will instantly
notice that your machine sounds much different.
EVOmx significantly dampens the sounds you hear
as you ride. A ½ empty fuel tank not only
vibrates significantly, but also acts as a transducer,
amplifying confused sound waves and making it
harder to hear what your engine is doing. The
first thing riders comment on when using EVOmx
for the first time is that they can "Hear
the engine."
"We are really excited to be involved with
EVOmx Foam," IMS owner Scott Wright said.
"It is a perfect fit with our other fuel
delivery products and I know that once riders
experience the advantages of this product, they
will understand our 100% commitment to this technology."
EVOmx Foam can be used in virtually any fuel
tank from .5 gallon to 5 gallon tanks with equal
success. IMS Products will be selling the foam
as a stand alone product or in a special combination
kit with any of their full line of fuel tanks.
