			when i installed the new tank 4 years ago, i didn't foam it in.  i used straps to secure it to the stringers.  I inspect it yearly to make sure nothing has shifted and to rinse it out with fresh water and let it dry .

			Can't you foam it in now?  I should look at mine because I had someone else a mechanic  install my fuel tank about 17 years ago and I never even looked at it    Maybe now is a good time   To do it
