Default Re: 89 23cc fuel tank

I understand that's the main problem with foaming in fuel tanks, the aluminum actually corrodes. I read that for those tanks most experts and the CG agree that they need to be open to the air to properly form the aluminum oxide coating that protects the aluminum surface from further oxidation and avoid those problems. Professional Boatbuilder magazine also recommends that all aluminum tanks be strapped into place and not be surrounded by foam.
