I've read and been told different thoughts on installing a new aluminum fuel tank. Foam it, don't foam it. What I am thinking is to foam it in again as it was done originally. The only difference is I am thinking I will epoxy paint the aluminum tank first with 5-6 coats of epoxy. Good idea? I have been told the Whaler tanks need to be foamed in as it is part of the structural integrity of the boat. Again a lot of different thoughts out there.
