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.

Next, using a cutting wheel in my case, carefully remove about 10mm or so of material off the rib. Just go slow.
 Once complete paint the exposed metal to prevent rust. Your car has enough already from the factory (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Then reassemble and take care to put the hoses back properly. I marked mine to make sure i did that right. Always use fuel line clamps. This is fuel.  Install tank and enjoy a secure fuel tank. Hope this helps people to tackle this easy project. For me the growing amount of junk inside the old tank made this new tank a no brainer compared to hours of cleaning, sealing, and hoping it worked with the old tank. Attached thumbnail(s)
