Looking for a replacement solution to the original fuel tank pads that retain moisture and rust the tank from the outside in.
Was thinking about some type of rubber padding that may be used similar to the below. Would also like to line the top of the battery tray with it as well. Any thoughts? Waxman 2-Pack 4-in Black Rubber Pads (w/ adhesive backing) |

Please don't use the felt again. Over the winter, we started smelling gas in Betty's car. I chased it for over a month, replacing all the fuel lines, new Tangerine fuel line kit, etc. While pulling the tank for the umpteenth time to check the lines and pump underneath, Betty noticed the felt pad was dripping. I was going to blow it off because it was raining outside at the time. She touched the felt pad stuck to the bottom of the tank, and found out it was gas. That explains why we couldn't smell gas until we filled the tank. When we put in under 5 gallons, it didn't leak, and didn't smell. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
I had to replace the fuel tank to fix it. I used rubber sheet to pad the tank when reinstalling. |
