It's as tough as old boots the tank. If you are fitting the Avlec guage,
I don't think the mounting plate would ever pull the tank flat,
especially using M3 screws as suggested. Our tank was the same shape and
we positioned our mounting plate aft of the dip in the tank top surface
- however not before we had cut the hole between the head rests in the
wrong position. Certainly gives goog access to the tank for cleaning. We
have also done away with the sight guage and put a 1/2" BSP plug in the
mounting plate (clear) which you can either see through or indeed remove
and dip the tank as per a spam can. If you want a pic contact me off
list and I'll send you one

Subject: Fuel Tank shape
Hello all,
My fuel tank does not have a level top. Where the two molded pieces
come together along the top seam there is a sag between the front and
back edges of the tank of up to 3/8" in the middle. Does anyone else
have this situation? I haven't cut an opening yet, but I want to
install an access panel in the tank top for a capacitance fuel probe and
to have a way to clean out the tank. I'm wondering if a flat cover
plate will pull the tank top surface together for a good seal.
