If it were me, I'd just coat my tank with truck bed liner first, then foam it in place. Water would NEVER be able to get through that stuff, so there would be no danger of corrosion.
But WHY do Poly tanks need to expand? That's what the vent line is for. There is no expansion with built in tanks that I know of.
