the internet is a dangerous thing... I have read a couple of different articles that state you should not foam around the gas tank... They state that water will accumulate around the aluminum and corrode it and the poly tanks need to expand..

I know a lot of you restorers have replace tanks so what are your thoughts???

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.
