I've used a 440/550 tank in a 750sx with no foam. Glue a couple blocks of foam around the base to keep it from moving around. The 750 straps didn't hold it in place very well by themselves.

I know what you mean with that retarded foam. Even if it doesn't break up, it will mold very quickly and become really nasty.

I haven't found a good alternative yet but I did chop the stock foam quite a bit to give me a bit more room in the engine bay.

just take the foam out, and run the stock tank with out it. we do it all the time. put a rubber mat, or sheet of hydro turf under it, to help protect the bottom. your straps will be a little long, but will work fine, if you tie a knot in them, to shorten.

Just have a aluminum fuel cell made. Im in process of making one for my SJ right now. I hate that huge 4.8 gallon tank, I never run it full anyway.
 
how about trying one of those old westcoast fuel tanks for the 550's. they are a tad bit bigger than the stock ones and they may give you a bit more room behind to get your hands in there if need be. (not sure if the hood will clear cuz they were taller)

HEY THANKS EVERYBODY

i think i might try just taking the foam out and tying a knot in the straps with the turf underneath first and see how that rides but the tank is kind of v-shaped so we will see how that goes
THANKS AGAIN
