Oh wow! Bad news! Never thought about that. Fuel disolves blue foam.
Be careful with that moldless construction.>>
There isn't any blue styrofoam near this area of the airframe. This is all
built with PVC and urethane, both which will take fuel exposure. The PVC
has raw edges exposed to fuel inside the tanks and no problems.
I would suggest that you need an additional return plumbed into each side.
Go from the inside of the fuselage just under the longeron and push the tube
into the tank about 2 feet. This joint is no different than the way you
take the plans fuel pickup through the side. When it is cured, you can
glass over the tube and run it out the firewall.
