    Fuel tank pad

    Hello and Happy Memorial Day!
    i am interested in adding a pad to the top of my fuel tank to insulate from noise. I have a big sheet of the jute pad with the tar back, but think that will collect moisture and cause rust. What can I use as a lay down piece only, I do not want to stick anything down permanently. 
    Thanks!

    I would use the piece of jute, but lay a piece of roofing felt over the tank first,and if you feel really energetic paint the top of the tank first....jj

    The original pad was a tar-impregnated watchamacallit.  I saw them at CJPony the other day.

    Re: Fuel tank pad

    Mike, I have just the thing for the pad. I'm insulating the inside of my '66 fb and made a tank pad from insulating/sound dampening material used in high-end biz jets. It's a 1/16" layer of Isodamp sandwiched by 2 sheets of dense 1/4" Nomex.
    Flame resistant, insulating, sound damping, and padding all in one. I plan to sell these as soon as I figure out how to cut the hole for the top of the tank. It's very tough and hard to cut, like Kevlar.
    If interested, I can get some pics later for you.

    It is called an "underlayment".  E-bay has one:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/MUSTANG-TRUNK-UNDERLAYMENT-MAT-COVER-FUEL-GAS-TANK-NEW-/290903640899?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AMustang&hash=item43bb354b43&vxp=mtr

    Enjoy
