After installing the tank, whether new or existing, I would recommend that you do not put those rubber strips back on the top of the tank. You will notice on the old tank that all the rust, or the most rust, has accumulated mostly where those rubber strips were located. Instead, use a good quality silicone sealant and place a 1/4 inch bead about 3/4 inch from the edge on the top of the tank. Make doubly sure that there is a generous amount of silicone sealant on the lead edge of the tank where it joins the floor of the boot. All the spray and road debris tries to collect between the top panel of the fuel tank and the boot floor panel. By making a moisture proof seal in this area, your fuel tank will last for many years.
