    Is something supposed to be under the tank? If yes, about how thick is it?
    thanks.

    nickmil In mothballs.

    I use flat rubber bungee cords like the truckers use and cut them to length. Cheap and work great! Leaves a slight gap under the tank for blowing junk out to keep the tank from rusting. Nickmil

    Good idear! Didja glue 'em down? I'm thinking the yellow 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive (gorilla snot) would work good.
