my tank was just like yours if you see my pic foam was all around the problem is the bottom of the tank the foam under is stuck to the tank so you need to free as much as possible close to the tank all around in order to lift the tank free also look in my pic and you will see some type of black rubber that is also holding the tank

Okay, yeah I had those. I thought they were like rubber shims between the tank and the supports that ran across the top. I guess I don't remember for sure. I used the longest "pruning" blade I could find for my sawzall, then finished the cut deeper with a handheld pruning saw. Chainsaw woulda made quicker work, but I guess I was a little skeared.
After looking closer I can see one piece of rubber bedded into the foam. I'm not sure mine was that way.

Removal of Tank
I have the same tank as you! :-( used a power washer to get as much foam cut away as possible! Then i used a car door thin metal lock shim used to open car doors when you don't have the key. Its about 18-24" long and has a gap on both sides on one end, I used that to slide it under the tank and scraped away more of the foam and then i put a piece of angle in the fuel opening and attached it to a chain and attached the chain to a 4x4 across the gunnels. I put pressure on it with a pry bar and was able to pop out one end! It is a PIA! however when i got it out i found there were 2 Quarter sized holes in the Tank and I was glad I pulled it. You should be able to get a shim like i used from a boby sop or auto parts store. Let me know if you would like a picture of it and I will send it to you. :-) good luck!

another way is to use a cable saw, like in boy scouts. start at one end and go under the tank back and fourth till you have cut away the foam and the tank is out.
