Re: fuel tank shield
Without seeing it, it is hard to tell, but I had a similar problem on
a 92 Jetta. I was able to hold it up with cable ties. The area never
got hot enough to be a problem for the ties.
-or-
seperate the heat shield from the exhast pipe and using a high-temp
adhesive glue it to the tank and/or body respectively.
-or-
remove it alltogether, and someone I am sure sells an adhesive based
foil like sheet (like you may see on new construction or HVAC stuff)
and just apply it to the area that the original shiel protected.
Off hand I can't remember the shield you describe, but hopefully the
above suggestions are enough to get ya going.
