I accidentally poured some gasoline into my Carden when I had one; used the spray foam as a filler and it worked fine. It dries hard as a rock but works well. And it looks like an anemic poodle took a dump in the plane.

Ryan,

For a Carden to operate at peak performance, the fuel needs to go in the tank. It is generally the plastic container at the end of a few hoses.

Good luck next time

It was actually a lightening experiment. Watching your belly pan disappear instead of taking the time to cut holes in the sides and engine box.
