The blue foam ribs will melt when exposed to gas fumes. The wood spar cap is put together with structural adhesive that will also react poorly to gas fumes. Any leak or spill will seriously damage the wing to the point of failure. The composite spar was made with high temp oven cured epoxy and Klegecell ribs that resist fuel.

It is my understanding that the early Pulsars had blue foam ribs. They will desolve from gas fumes so putting fuel in the wings is not a good idea unless you rebuild the wings and replace the blue ribs with the brown ones.
