An ex NTSB investigator friend of mine suggested that I use this foam but he didn't know any details. He said that you pay about a one quart penalty for fuel load but in the event of a crash fuel doesn't splash all over everything. This seems like a reasonable safety precaution since we are using wet wings and it would keep fuel sloshing to a minimum. Any info pro or con would be helpful. Thanks, J.
