If using foam in the fuel tanks to reduce "sloshing", are you able to do
away with building in baffles and how much does the foam reduce tank
capacity by?

ok,
I have to mention something here. Please anybody
chime in if you have better experiences..
I used to build glass and wood boats. I built
more than a few fiberglass fuel tanks.
Just building a hollow tank and having no debris
in the fuel coming out is a big challenge. It generally

Here in Australia we have a saying that goes "RTFQ"
If you read the question, you will see that nowhere did I mention about
building the fuel tanks out of fiberglass. Maybe I need to be a little more
clear for you, but the foam I am referring to is made specifically for that
application. See
a kind of "gum" that, very often,
obstructs the carburetor.

I'm the one who brought up foam filled tanks. The idea came from
military applications where a low density foam is used to make the tanks
explosion resistant. The foam displaces 2% of the tank volume and has a
density of about 1.2 to 1.4 lbs/cu. ft. Vinylester resin is fuel resistant.

left you with an unusable piece of foam.

For those interested in low density foam for fuel tanks that will take
up only 2.5% of the volume see the following link.
