240260280z Posted July 23, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) I picked up a self-sticking rubber stair tread from ACE Hardware, cut it to size, and stuck it to the top of the powder coated tank: Edited July 23, 2011 by Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonzi Lon Posted July 24, 2011 Share #3 Posted July 24, 2011 Powder coated fuel tank? Tell us more. It has to be super clean before baking, right? Do you coat the inside after baking? This is way better looking than just paint. I've found an old, non inflatable truck tire inner tube comes in very handy around the home & shop. Made a pair of headlight bucket gaskets before they were available again, glued a protective patch to the body metal above the + battery post, radiator drain plug gasket, paper punch made a perfect hole, can be used for fuel tank strap rubber or the upper pads, however, I do like the diamond pattern of yours better.

240260280z Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted July 24, 2011 Well the nice thing about the tread is that it is peel and stick Yeah the powder coating required a clean tank. The heat from the p-c oven re-flowed some of the solder so I had to check for leaks. Fortunately all is well. I am just about to use thicker rubber sheeting from the hardware store for the tank straps. Arne's post on the evapor. tank hoses sure helped. This forum is great.
