Water Holding on top of tank

[StillKIckn]

Has anyone had trouble with water from rain, etc. getting trapped on top of gas tank (tank foamed in) '76 170 Osprey, was thinking i could cut some of the foam away which may alow it to flow into the hull, any sugg.

thanks

Cut the foam.  Easiest & fastest fix.

I just replaced the tank on my 170 about six months ago.  There are many different opinions on this, but when I replaced my tank I didn't use any foam on around the tank.  I just laid it in the tub and used a little weather stipping where the straps contact the tank.  To me, this will really cut down on moisture.  

To answer your question, I would cut out the foam especially if it is wet.  I think that it would prolong the life of the tank.
