Default CSX4000 fuel cell or tank?

Hello all, it's been some time since I've posted. I have a CSX4000 that I purchased a few years ago with engine damage. I just got the rebuilt engine installed today and still have a few things to do, accessories, fuel lines, etc. but I wanted to address an issue that has concerned me since I got the car.
I've been told that the 4000 series cars have foam installed in the fuel cell and it will need replaced. The car has been off the road since 2006. We dropped the tank today and it has a bladder in it. I tried to do some research but everything I find is old news. Does anyone make a fuel tank to directly replace the fuel cell? Or will i need to replace the bladder? I assume the foam is inside the bladder But I can't figure out how to remove it. I need to know what my options are. Thanks.

I think Craig with the user name cobrakiwi makes gas tanks.

I had foam in original fuel tank too on my CSX4000 too and choose to build an all aluminium fuel tank with 5 compartment. Done it 8 years ago and absolutly no problem.

Craig did a great job on mine. Those bladders don't last forever. That's what failed on mine.

Another vote for Craig Coombe, who did a fantastic job for my CSX4000 car, after its original bladder began to send bits of material into the carb.
