I read an article in another forum about gasolines (http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/tech/gas/) and their effects on Corvettes. In that article is a mention of a rubber-like bladder. They didn't go into the composition of it. Hope this helps.

Damn there is so much information in that article I think I forgot my kids name.
I have a spare tank and I know it is plastic but not sure what kind of plastic. I want to use some epoxy in the tank for a fuel system upgrade and need to pick the correct type.
