Default fuel tank bedding?

I'm putting anew gas tank in and was going through posts of what csc users have used to put under the tank so it will stay dry and breath. I am considering using drydeck what do you guys think?

I'm not sure what others do or if mine is done correctly but I: epoxied tanks, set in place on small foam squares where I wanted it, then poured Stepan 2 part foam 3/4 the way up the tanks, done.

after reading other posts didn't want foam because it will cause water to become trapped and cause pitting.at west marine and looked at the drydeck . It holds like 270 pounds per square inch ,its half inch thick and made of plastic and its made so water drains below.

Go to home depot and buy some of that composite board. It is a cheap imitation of star board. Cut some strips the length of the tank and epoxy on. The stuff will not rot shrink or crack. The commercial name is Azec I believe.
