IMS Products Adds
EVOmx Fuel Tank Foam to Product Lineup
EVOmx Fuel Tank Foam |
Riverside, CA – September 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. For more information or to place an
