TRL5,
If I may, pls. re-read the part about 5200. 5200 is applied to the plastic bed strips to preclude any moister becoming trapped against the aluminum. The tank is NOT recommended to be 5200'd to the shelf/base where it sits, but rather just set in place using the weight of the tank + fuel to prevent shifting. Most of the tanks I have seen, including mine have some aluminum tabs welded to them and then those tabs are screwed into the sides of the well that the tank/coffin is set into. A fine point yes, but think of someone trying to remove a tank 5200'd into place. THAT would be a "NIGHTMARE on ELM STREET"(and any other street as well)!

thanxs lew maybe im not understanding it right but looks like he means the wight of the tank will make the 5200 sqeeze out just enough to bite the glass? mabe 4200 is the way to go? was going to use the tabs aswell and 52 or 4200 them to the stringers.looking forward to some feedback.
