 Regular foam like carpet padding isn't a good choice for under the tank since it's porous...  a sponge.    It will absorb and hold moisture against the metal tank.  If you can blow through it,  don't use it.

Use a closed cell foam like ethylene (EthaFoam is one brand) or a closed cell urethane.   I like the ethylene foam since it's inert and won't react long term with anything that's likely to contact it in a car.

Good luck,
