<div>Excellent idea to use foam. The tank will generally not fill the
compartment tho, unless it is really large. Plus, you would have to be
quite careful with the foam as it would compress the water and force
it out the breathing tube, thus reducing tank capacity. This method on
the connections tho I think would be excellent, since in my experience
that is where they go.</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font size="-1">An interesting variety of
opinions.I suspect problems with the flexible variety are though
flexing at the connecting points and chafe elsewhere.As a
suggestion,fill the installed tank with clean water so that it
assumes the shape of the compartment then spray foam around it.If the
foam adheres to the tank it would stop it collapsing when
empty.Might have to check to ensure the foam has no chemical reaction
with the plastic of the tank.Might be able to do something similar
with the connections.Tie them off so that the plastic is not stressed
then foam them to hold rigid.Just a thought.</font></blockquote>
