Mr. Kempton is correct , the foam is in the cell to impede an explosion if you should be unfortunate enough to crash . The fuel cell and foam insert was developed for race cars in the early 60s by Firestone to help prevent driver death and injury from fire . The foam may have some effect on fuel sloshing ( which probably wouldn't matter very much anyway ), but that's not why it's in the cell .
