[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 523886, member: 3438"] The foam will not like contact from the gas, but don't believe it is a fire hazard. Gas and gas vapors shouldn't be leaking out of the tank if it is in good order. If they are, that alone is a fire hazard. If, when, you have to remove the tank, I'd use the glue very sparingly, if needed at all. I wouldn't make it too tight of a fit between the deck and top of the tank. If the deck flexes a little, when you stand on it, you don't want the stresses applied to the plastic tank. Could crack it over time. [/QUOTE]
