Fuel Tank Vents

[Kindsvater Flat]

I found this picture and was wondering why the tank was all balloned out. Is this because they elminate the vent so the expansion with heat forces more fuel in? :D

I imagine it's from the fuel sloshing around. That's about 250 lbs of fuel (I'm guessing at about 40 gal) trying to do everything it can to get out of that metal box. Pounding the water at 150, there's a lot of force there. Is there foam in the tank?
