IO am refurbishing a Sig Senior Kadet and The fuel tank is tucked up inside the fuselage right behind the firewall inside a bracket that is pretty tight fitting. The tank is 16 oz and I will leave it as is but I'm wondering about vibration and foam inside. I am trying to avoid opening the fuselage . Any thoughts?

How old is the tank and the lines?

the tank must have come with the plane but I was able to remove it and clean it out and replace the lines. As I said it goes back in, but it's a tight fit leaving no way to put any insulation around it so it rests directly on a bulkhead.

My Feedback: (1)

Foaming is not what it once was and most modern fuels include antifoaming agents Give it a go

Lots of glow models for engines without fuel pumps are designed to have the tank snug to the firewall. I cut a tank neck size hole in a piece of 3" x 3" foam rubber and push the tank right up snug against the firewall (with a hole drilled to accomidate the tank neck and plug).
