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.

Had the same experience with my Dansk tank.
Since the car getting the repro tank isn’t concourse I shimmed the strap bridge with a couple thick pieces of flat rubber pad on each side to raise it enough to clear the taller seam. It’s hardly seen when installed. I did this because I already had my tank and everything else installed and painted and didn’t want to cut metal. |
