Foam is a cheap and easy way for the factory to secure the tank in place. Only problem is it holds moisture and eventually rots out the tank. I cut the foam out of mine with about 10 bucks worth of quarters and a pressure washer at the carwash. I used a floor jack sitting atop two 4x4 posts laid across the gunnels to pop the tank out after flushing the tank and cutting two holes in the forward corners with a chain through them and across the jack.
