What is the best fuel cell out there? Is there any advantage one way or the other by using Aero Tech, or Eagle?

Kristin Winter said she had better success fitting AeroTech, so I bought them for the Twin and they have done well in mains and auxes. Discount for ICS members.

I dont think any one brand is better than others anymore. FFC, Aerotech, Eagle, all have been good for all the planes I know. Just comes down to price.

I bought from Floats and Fuel Cells ofm Memphis last set. They are as good as any I believe, and I got a great deal on them. Much cheaper then Aero Tech. If you order F&FC of Memphis, you have to order install kits seperately as they are not included. With the difference in price between rebuilt and new I went with new.

I just installed four cells from Eagle. All the snaps lined up nicely and they were cheaper than Aero qouted me even with shipping to California. I bought four so that did make a difference on the price. No CA sales tax helped out too.

Aero Tech is good, Eagle I had a big problem with on a customer's aircraft where the cell crazed along the top and failed in 18 months from installation. Of them all, I prefer Floats and Fuel Cells (FFC) - as good as Aerotech and a little less in cost.

To All,

FYI,

I just bought a new right aux fuel cell for my twin from Aero Tech in Santa Fe Springs, CA it was $800. They told me it was warrantied for 10 years. FWIW.
