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?

Yes, 3 pads. Sorry, I don’t have pics.

Is Scotch Brite the same as those pads you use to clean the dishes?

What about foamies? https://www.ebay.com/itm/273899372713?chn=p...d2d7278b8c4f66c

Two places on the front, and one on the back, driver's side?

Looks like a pad on the DS back, two places on the front, but what about the spot on the PS back??

I bought the pads Lowes.

I wonder if it would be better to glue them to the gas tank instead of the chassis, so there would be a seal/barrier, between the tank and the pad?

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.

I wonder if there would be local places that carry that EPDM material. I think roofers may use it, but would assume that is thinner?

How thick exactly does it need to be??

I add a pad as noted in your pic.. rusty spot

Which size/thickness EPDM in particular do they use for the gas tank padding?
I was thinking of about 3/16"

I did the same, with non-adhesive neoprene rubber sheet material.

I only use German pads super soft and slimClick to view attachment
