I am replacing my belly fuel tank in 1973 outrage 21ft. The tank is being fabricated by local company (thanks to the drawings provided by whaler central). The company is telling me not to foam in the tank. They say I should create a drainage tube into the bilge area or install a bilge pump in the compartment. They told me the Coast Guard recommends not to use foam or the rubber mats that were previously there. There is no way I can make the take compartment water tight so I am leaning towards no foam. Any thoughts regarding this subject from members would be appreciated
