I just learned about the gas tank blanket cover located underthe trunk mat, which I am told by guys, cuts down on noise for the gas sloshing around the tank. Apparently this was a factory itemwhich you can no longer buy. We're hunting one down in "as new" condition. Do you stil have yours? Does anyone else know about its history and function?

they make repos of it and since it hidden no reason not to get a repo

 

No, as far as I know it was not an option from either the factory or the local dealer. Tell us more about it. Rmodel....You say you can get one as a repop? Give us an addy.

 

You cannot tell from the picture but the padding is very thick and dense - not your standard foam

My shop also said that there were repros -but made with cheap foam. Is it possilbe the originalalso actedas a fire retardant in the event of a rear end crash?

Does anyone know the real/original name for this item and why not many people know about it?

ive seen it seperately i ordered my underlayment from www.mustangsunlimited.com its a very thick rubber i need to order my trunk stuff just havent got around to it yet

 

No... this mat is very different then the one described in that cataolgue....

 

yes i know this is supposed to resist rust by not sweating like the one in ur pic

 

Why not cut one out of 30 lb felt paper. No one is going to see it and you will save your money and it will do the same thing.[sm=exactly.gif]

 

or just get a loud exhaust and you will never hear fuel sloshing cause all you can hear is the exhaust

 

If you are looking for something to take the place of this I would get the underlayment out of a later model Chrysler product.

Chrysler has the best sound deadener/insulation of any of the Big 3. Nice heavy duty with a rubber like consistency. I pulled some out of a late 80's New Yorker and it is great stuff. I wound up putting it in my brothers 77 F100 and it worked wonderfully.
