Default Foaming fuel in Avistar???

Has anyone had a problem with foaming fuel in the Avistar ARF? I'm not totally happy with the way they have you mount the fuel tank w/o any foam padding. It just doesn't seem right. Any input would be helpful.
Thanks

I fly at least three fuel planes and a couple of gassers that have soild mounted tanks, and have no problem with foaming. Had Avistars before and no problem with the tank installation.
