Just to clarify some things-
I did not purchase the tanks. I purchased the entire kit once removed from the widow of the guy who bought it in 2001 and died before doing much work to it. So the tanks are circa 2001. The fact that I did not pay for the tanks and have them shipped over, plus that I had to cut them open anyway for EFI....takes the sting out of it somewhat. I'd be a bit more upset if I was in Bob's position...
I'm aware of how fast the foam degrades, especially with ethanol. There's now some excellent information on this thread that I had to piece together from all over the internet and other threads back when I did my homework on tank baffling and such. The foam was coming out regardless...it was just a rude surprise to see that it might not have been much use new. The cost of filling with foam, especially obvious CASTOFF foam of 4 different colors/structures/types, is pretty insulting at 200 pounds, I thought, which is why I posted this to begin with.
