But also had to grind the access hatch to avoid interference with the fuel fill elbow. Also put a rubber strip around the hatch to raise it slightly. Maybe should have requested a smaller height dimension. Just FYI

I don't understand that. When I got my tank from them, probably 20 years ago, I told them what I had and they already had the specs. Got it shipped to me (well to a local business) and it fit great. It was already primer painted and I also painted it with resin.
