[NSRCA-discussion] Fuel tanks

[Bob Richards]

Years ago, Sullivan had some tanks with a type of open-cell foam in the front half of the tank. The idea was that it would prevent fuel from foaming. Guess it did not catch on. I do remember it was a real PITA trying to get the clunk, vent tube, foam and stopper into the tank together.
