[Healeys] Gas tank bottom seal

[Chris Dimmock]

And put a spirit level on the top of your tank when the car is parked in a
normal level parked position. If the tank is lower at the back of the car,
then put something under the back of the tank. You want the tank tilted
slightly towards the front of the car. I used builders foam which is very
dense and comes in rolls 1/2 in, 1/4 in and 1/8 in thick.
Otherwise the car will run out of fuel with 10 or 15 litres still in the
tank....
Best

you need to remove the tank again if you don't place the fat edge against the
bulkhead. BTW, I had to put an extra shim piece in on the fat side.

just got one of the new rectangular foam rubber seals and it's wedge-shaped as

car; i.e. skinny edge towards front of car, or rear?
