It is certainly common knowledge with Mustang, Falcon, Comet, and Fairlane buffs that the fuel tank is also the trunk floor in many instances. That thin-gauge galvanized steel does a good job of keeping the fuel inside until we toss something heavy on top. Because Ford fitted trunk areas with really cheesy checkerboard vinyl, protection didn’t exist. Even a carpeted trunk floor wouldn’t afford a fuel tank much protection.

The Trunk Liner from M-Detail/The Mustang Market is designed to protect the fuel tank from carelessly tossed and heavyweight items we like to haul in our trunks. Protection comes from a heavy-gauge steel design that fits into the trunk-floor area between the rear wheelwells. Installation is a cakewalk, because the kit arrives at your doorstep with self-tapping screws, bolts, flexible body sealer, and insulation padding. The Trunk Liner can be installed in one to two hours.
