IMPORTANT NOTE:

To prevent the remote possibility of gas tank warp or potential fire hazard due to heat transfer from exhaust systems, as a legal disclaimer the manufacturer recommends a distance of three (3) inches clearance between the tank and any exhaust system component.

Field feed back from our customers indicates that if additional insulation is properly utilized heat transfer can be dramatically reduced or even eliminated allowing custom installations with less than the manufacturer's recommended clearance. There are many new high- tech insulating materials available as well as old fashioned asbestos based materials for heat insulation applications.  Some fabricators also use double wall thermal insulated stove pipe flu as an additional heat shield. It is fire-proof, can be cut-to-fit & neatly wrapped around the pipes and it looks great too.  Custom made aluminum heat shields (similar to those used on late model exhaust manifolds) may also be used to reduce reflective heat.
