The foam was soaking wet especially in the aft area. I probably removed 150 pounds of wet foam just from the top of the tanks.
This is the forward 40 gallon tank sender unit with the vent hoses around it. Water and rust. Really ugly. This is the main aft tank sender unit submerged in water surrounded by wet foam. Today I got into the gas tank work. I removed the coffin lid and discovered a really ugly mess. The senders were rusted and covered with water that was trapped in the foam. The foam was soaking wet especially in the aft area. I probably removed 150 pounds of wet foam just from the top of the tanks. I removed all the foam which was tough work, so as to expose the fill and vent piping etc.. Fill hoses, clamps and foam was in bad shape with lots of corrosion. I had to hand cut the old original rubber hoses which were steel reinforced. This was a tough job and took a while.
