Default Fuel tank foam

JP: Thanks for the links. I've learned enough to avoid fuel tank foams.
When the engine suddenly gets quiet in my helicopter, my suds level gets
pretty high.
Thanks again.

Is there anyone out there using fuel tanks filled with open cell foam?
I've heard that explosions are tamed as well as fuel slosh. I've also
heard that the foam must be replaced periodically. How often is the
replacement necessary? I'm using 100LL Av gas.
