Fuel Tank Remove

I've also wondering about solvent. Something like acetone or even paint thinner. Seems like even VE breaks down a lot of different types of foam.

It's a polyurethane foam, paint thinner won't touch it, and acetone would have only a minimal effect.The vapors from acetone could also cause some danger from a chance of fire.

My 79 MA was foamed from sides but tank was not sitting on floor of coffin, allowing foam to seep below and expand. Carefully used a Saws-All, long blade without Woodie Wood Peckering gel coated floor. Wasn't too bad.

Have you committed to a tank builder yet? Curious of price because I also need a 68-70 gallon. Of course, had to blow most of that cash on a new rifle scope this month!!!

Just got a quote from Sunshine Marine Tanks here in Miami
'
For the 70 gallon replacement $700

That's interesting. I spoke to Fossil Man, a member here, about three years ago, and he said that the $10/gallon was not an accurate way to measure/sell fuel tanks. He works there, granted it's been awhile.

Did you request 0.90 Guage aluminum, or upgrade to ..125 inch? Are you having it coal tar epoxied by the builder? Thanks for the info.

Tried acitone with no results. Someone else recommend a pressure washer but in my case space is limited under the console since I don't want to de-rig everything. The fella at FGC told me there's a solvent the works but it also will eat thru fiberglass. Was looking for a redneck solution.
