Default RE: Installing fuel tank suggestions

For the most part I "float" my tanks surrounded with foam rubber and no part is cemented to the fuselage or a frame or the firewall. That can result in foaming and lean runs. You can make a foam rubber gasket that helps to seal the opening in the firewall. Just be sure the fuel lines are free and not bent excessively or squeezed once installed

Sometimes I add cross-braces to help secure the tank in place.
