Default RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

I'm in the final stages of assembling my new U-Can-Do 3D .46 and I have a question about the fuel tank. It appears that the fuel tank is resting against the firewall and directly on wood beams or formers. Even the block of balsa that holds the tank in place is pressed directly against the back of the fuel tank. This type installation is contrary to everything I've been taught or learned about fuel tank installations. I have always thought it best to "float" the fuel tank in foam rubber to isolate the tank from engine vibration. This technique is supposed to minimize or eliminate the possibility of fuel foaming.

Have any of you UCD owners experienced fuel foaming problems?
