Re: [DML] Re: Dave Bauerle's Fuel Tank Protector

[Josh Haldeman <jhaldeman@xxxxxxxx>]

Sorry...should have said this straight away...the material Dave 
installed on MY car is foam rubber...not the rubberized plastic Rich is 
talking about which sounds like it would provide superior protection 
from road debris.

As far as I know, Dave still makes and sells these.  You can contact him 
at his shop.  Telephone is 740-815-3669.

Good luck,
Josh
