Bill, for the work involved, get a new one. Japanese handsaw makes quick work of cutting out the foam. The foam is usually saturated with gas from the leak, so keep cutting until it doesn't smell. Don't forget the ground wire... What sucks about the job is that when you get the new tank in and foamed, you still have the deck and console to reassemble. Take notes as you tear it down and have some line available as messengers. Finding a compatible tank can be a PITA. Good luck.
