Are there any pads that go under where the gas tank sits to keep it from rubbing?
If so, any pictures of where they are placed? |

Any type of foam pad should be avoided. They will retain moisture and rust out the tank from the outside to the inside. I am using a sheet of epdm rubber I got from Grainger Supply and cut to fit the shape I wanted. It has adhesive on one side and was glued to the body, not the tank. People also use pieces of the green scotchbrite scouring pads, but they too will retain moisture.
