Joe,
That is pretty close to what I did, see my details at web site; http://www.robert7721.com/fuel_tank.html 1/4" Lastofoam. Two layers on the inside, one on the outside. I did not do the deck cloth on the inside, but I did squeegee in a batch of resin into the weeve after the two inside layers were dry. It seemed to work fine. Only issue I had was the bottom not sealing quite right. I did have to pour some epoxy into it later to seal the edges/corners. I would not use vinyl ester again. I'm sure the West System would do just fine. You never want to put fuel with ethanol in it, regardless of construction.

Since I bought the one that is in N357CJ I really did not think about how many layers of glass there might be in the construction. Right now I have 2 full layers of the 5 oz glass cut and one layer of the deck cloth on the interior of the layers. I am making it in a top and bottom half so I could always add layers inside or out before I close it up but I would like to be close in the first lay up. What are the opinions of the total layers of glass needed? BTW- now foam core just planning on glass/resin only.
