The foam material that goes inside of the tank is probably available from the auto racing crowd. And I wish I'd have thought of it when I was doing my tanks. Although it doesn't keep fuel from running out of a compromised tank, it does let it out fairly slowly rather than in Tsumani form. The main thing it does however, is eliminate the possibility of a tank full of gasoline vapor - which is highly flammable and probably explosive.
