I am dealing with that right now. Mine tends to work its way out after a while
and so I have glassed in a couple short pieces of 3/8 aluminum tubing on either
side - bonded to the floor of the headrest. I will then strap it down that way
- with probably a tie wrap. The strap will have a little bit of give in it
to allow for tank expansion. it is very hard to push it down in the hole, so I
hope the seal will be good - like a cork in a bottle!
