I used the foam rubber we use to trim raised access floors with.

You are right. The need for isolation is written into the IVA M1.

^I meant earth here not isolation!!!^

isn't the tank earthed from the sender? My sender has an earth lead as I take it that the screws that go through the sender into the tank to secure it would be the electrical link between tank and sender?

or am I barking up the wrong tree as usual?

guess that depends on your sender? mine is designed to earth through the tank earth.... but i have added extra earting straps throughout my fuel system anyway just because it is good practice...
