Also remember that bladders and foam inserts have a shelf life before disintegrating and causing issues in filters and pumps, I want to say 5 years or so (someone with more experience with them will need to chime in). Not real cheap to replace the bladders either.
You may want to experiment with foam in your existing tank. I'm not sure if it's a bad idea or not, never heard of anyone ever doing it Ina stock tank before, probably a good reason.
You are spot on regarding the shelf life to an extent. I had one made up by an aircraft fuel company about 4 years ago in the factory location.It cost me close to $1900.00 . I inquire of the shelf life and the only thing they wanted me to do was to keep it topped off with fuel to keep the bladder moist so it will not dry up.
For those that have it up front,have you thought of a front in accident and moving the weight to the front? I guess one can say to balance the rear-
Good luck.
