Why not use bladders in fuel tanks?

I have this weird idea that I got while drinking from a water bladder out in the wilderness.

Why not install a bladder inside the fuel tank so that there is less likelihood of air in the gasoline tank?

Secondary question I was wondering is about ferry tanks. Why not have a bladder as a ferry tank and then sort of squeeze it like a toothpaste tube, into the main tank? If that's even how ferry tanks work.

Idle thoughts a-pondering...
