home made, energy star rated water tank idea.

ive got an idea,

that came to mind having a modern electric hot water tank that has the plastic liner and foam filled out side....


how about taking a older tank and removing the insulation and using the ins-ta spray foam around the tank versus the old house type insulation.

and you have a used tank that is now much better at holding heat....
how much better i have not a clue other then just tossing around ball park numbers.

the other thing i been thinking about is, does the stuff that exspands less have a better R value then the sruff that exspands many times the size of the can
