Re: gas tank pad
It is a rubber sheet. I reused mine when I did my tank, but if I were to replace it I would go to a home improvement store and buy a rubber mat to cut up. It's about 1/4" thick.

Re: gas tank pad
you can use an EDPM sheet, they sell them at home improvement stores for installing under the shower tub. also, several layers of heavy tar paper would likely work, but not as durable. Perhaps peel and stick vinyl flooring? Also, they sell aftermarket sound deadening sheets in auto parts stores. One side is sticky, for putting under your floor mats (directly on the metal floor) to make the interior quiet, that stuff would also work well.
