I have run across several fuel tank sender gaskets that over the years have been upgraded from cork to rubber or other manmade petroleum based gaskets. If you use slippery rubber or neoprene gaskets do not coat them with anything. They will ooze out from under the flanges between each pair of screws and eventually leak. Keep everything clean and dry during assembly.
When you position the tank support strips on the tub floor be sure to lay them out so water cannot be trapped in between them. That way if she gets rained in on a skinny air nozzle on the air hose will dry the floor quickly. _________________ Wes K

I was checking out the neoprene on line. and it comes in many different thickness's I think it was from 1/32 to 1/4 inch. I was thinking of using it under the tank and under the strap, how think should a person use in this application? |

This is a good example for when you need more than just the ORD 9 SNL G-740 or ORD 9 SNL G-758 to determine stock dimensions. In this case the ORD 8 for these two jeeps actually add's the field approved replacement material for the Ant-Squeak originally installed by Willys. Webbing, anti-squeak, cotton 27-W-11185 1" wide & 3/16" thick. Since the webbing will compress much easier than neoprene I would suggest 1/8".
You will need 5 strips of it;
1 - 6 3/8"
3 - 18 11/16"
1 - 24 5/8" (for hold down strap) _________________ Wes K

How about silicone such as aircraft baffle material for under the tank? I would think it would resist fuel better than neoprene, especially with fuels blended with alcohol or certain other aromatics.

Wes,
The linked discussion in your last post is a nice summary of the available materials. I bookmarked it for future use.
Thanks!
