[Healeys] Gas tank bottom seal

[Oudesluys]

Foam may be concours correct but it will hold water and eventually it 
rots out boot floor edges or tank. Place the tank in the correct 
position on small solid rubber or wooden strips perpendicular to the 
rims. Then carefully apply PU sealant in the space between tank and 
floor and finish using the usual method of finger and soapy water. Let 
dry and after the sealant is set remove the strips and apply more 
sealant to the gaps left by the strips. If any water from condensation 
or leakage will show it will evaporate quickly instead of being absorbed 
by foam with all its consequences.
