I wouldn't worry about the toxic fire hazard, there's plenty of other stuff in the van that's toxic if it burns. You're right that a fuel leak would very likely disolve the foam. Guess you could test it by dropping a small piece of the foam into a basin or can with some gasoline. However, if the OEM sleeve/cover is available I'd certainly go with that, myself. I thought we were trying to find some substitute for an NLA part.
