I used rubber strips between tank and trunk floor as well as between the straps and tank.

Gas tank
I glued these rubber strips to the tank.

i think i also put zip ties on them to keep them on during the install, then snipped them off my last setup i used some of my hydroturf matting from my jetski we use it in them, so also worked out for what i needed |

Patton Glade makes a reproduction of the original tank pad:

Roofing tarpaper is virtually identical to the original stuff that GM used.

I used a sheet of DynaMat on the top of my tanks. And yes, it does manage any tin-can drone.
You could use DynaLiner if you wanted to, but it won't manage any tin-can drone, only manage heat. Technically, where one would want 'insulation' would be on the bottom of the tank, to manage radiant heat from the asphalt. But most don't want anything that's visible. Everything else is strictly for anti-squeak as the body flexes. With EFI, there's less issues with the tank/gas itself of getting super heated, due to the psi. .
