RE: B Body gas tank

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,
My tank had been replaced on my car and when I took it off there was 
nothing in between the tank & body.  Pretty sure there should be 
something there.  I put something in between when I re-installed it but 
can't remember right now exactly what it was.  Seems like roofing felt 
would be a good material to use.  You need something that won't rot too 
quickly and provides some cushioning.  I may have used some of the thin 
styrofoam that is used for shipping.  Just can't remember for sure.  I'd 
blame it on age but my memory never did work very well!
