Getting ready to reinstall the fuel tank. Any suggestions on the best padding to get for the anti-squeak pads? Looks like a lot of options out there, but few with decent reviews. It's something people won't ever see, but I want something that will last.

I used 30 weight roofing paper folded in half and cut to length and width.

Likewise-no issues.

Thanks for the replies. I thought about using roofing paper since it looks like the same stuff.

When doing my engine upgrade I switched to an EFI ready fuel tank, from "TANKS". I purchased these adhesive rubber insulator strips from them. I used them to insulate between the tank and trunk floor. I did not put anything between the straps and tank because the factor did not.
In my opinion they work well.

I would think 30lb felt would be fine. All you need is a break between the 2 metals. I used a piece of black foam I cut to fit that look similar to the tank pads that were posted. I got a piece of scrap from a vendor at Carlisle that had 500ft rolls of the stuff about 6' wide. I asked if he sold smaller stuff and no dice. He then reached down and ripped a piece off the end and gave it to me.

Likewise, thin neoprene roll here, compresses and doesn't soak up moisture.
