Try spraying the foam with acetone,
same stuff used in nail polish remover.

I was using some of my wife's to clean some electronics
and made the mistake of putting it in a foam coffee cup,
what a mess.

Kevin,

Try the hand saw trick. Firmly, but gently push it in and follow the contour of the tank. Short up and down strokes until you get all the way around it. It may loosen up enough foam to get the tank out.

I have used all manners of saws......my electric knife......drywall saw, scrapers etc etc.....ugh

Re: Gas in the bilge
 

you can only get so much of the foam before you have to start prying it out!!

Some one here tryed lifting it out on a chain fall till the boat started to lift and then it poped right out.

Others had to pry from all sides till they got them out.

So I guess what I am trying to say its time to use the mucsle! and if its leaking then who cares its going to get ruined any way!

Re: Gas in the bilge
 

if you can dig a hole out to get a couple crowbars under each end and then 2 or you pry id out it will come trust me i've pulled 5 or 6 now one was a 250 gallon in an older Sea Ox.

Re: Gas in the bilge
 

I just don't see how I can pry it out without tearing up the deck. I have 1/2 an inch on the sides to work with. There is no room for a pry bar to get down there.....

As a last resort I will cut the tank but I really would like to see what is underneath before destroying it.....

Re: Gas in the bilge
 

lay a 1 x 6 on the edge of the deck so you don't pry against the deck.
