A better way to keep moisture out of the trunk and tank area is to drill a 1/4" hole between the gas filler depression and the trunk seal channel and solder, braze or epoxy a short length of 1/4" copper tube there so water which collects in the filler depression  does not seep into the trunk. Instead it will drain out the rear of the car.  Most tank rust problems are due to water saturating the mat under the tank and slowly  or never drying out.
