Thanks all for your suggestions. Mindful of the potential for spare tire
clearance problems, I'm going to try two or three plate glass glazing strips
3/4 inch wide and a bit less than 1/8 inch thick (like the rubber "canopy
tape" Earl suggested) under the tank, seal throughly the rectangular gasket
with silicone, and make sure the boot lid gasket is joined at the bottom
with a gap in it sufficient enough to allow some minimal air circulation.
That should do it. From what has been said, I assume that these cars didn't
have any material between the tank and floor. Hopefully, this will be an
improvement of sorts.
