When i got my new fuel tank from Dansk it turns out that the rib that runs along the top of the tank is too tall for the mounting strap and guide. This means that when you tighten it down it does a beautiful job of destroying your plastic guide.

A fix is trim off some of the material under the guide but before you hit the weld. Start by marking where the ends of the plastic guide land then taking the tank out.
 You should also replace the fuel filter screen that sits inside the tank if you havent already. I hadnt yet and bought a new one prior to putting fuel in the new tank. It was really brittle.and rusty. It tore to pieces taking it off. Attached thumbnail(s)
