Reply to "Fuel Tank Mounting"

panteradougMember

At this point you both might want to consider using a stainless steel mounting strap and closely examine the surface of the fuel tank where the insulation has been mounted too all of these years.

That is one of the places where the tank will rust through from the outside because of the trapped moisture under that pad.

The thing is 40 years old and the tank and strap are just sheet steel.

It isn't even rust that you will get there. It is galvanic action. Something that galvanizing is supposed to help in that the zinc is supposed to react and protect the steel.

Very often that tank is on the verge of holing through under those sometimes microscopic rust pits. It is not very thick.
