Fuel Tank insulation

[Scotty]

Hi all.
New to the site. Ive had mine for 10 years and love it. But dumped it on a right hander a couple months back. Just finishing off the repairs and had to get the tank resprayed. In bought some new insulation for under the tank but not 100% sure of where it goes. Could someone send me a photo of the undersite of their tank so i can get an idea.
Cheers
Scotty

Hi. Here's pretty good video on fuel tap change with the insulation shown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVYKx7SMuJ4

I did take mine off though, because it was becoming loose and was full of mold not sure if it's even that necessary to have it?

Hi Scotty,

should you install this "insulation" under the fuel-tank make sure to put on enough glue so that it doesn´t come loose. If it does, it can clog the air-intake to the carburettors and that´s an experience you can do without! We here found that out only by chance : the engine doesn´t want to run properly and has no power at all. The problem is, that when you stop the engine, the insulation pops back up into the tank-tunnel and everythting seems to be ok.
I threw that stuff away because it is only there for sound-reduction. It never botherde me
