Has anyone tried this product on the bottom of the tank:

Hi folks,
Did not get a response on this one before...
Has anyone tried this type heat shield on the underside of the gas tank to
prevent boiling?
Thanks,

I take it you ride in the same zip code as Hell or something. I've never had gas boil in a
tank or had vapor lock in any vehicle.
Have you had this happen??

Yes, it has happened to me.
Stop & go in 95+ heat when tank is below 1/2....
More than a few of the group have had issues with gas boiling and I like a
good engineering challenge.
I will try the stuff and provide a few pics and a report after testing.
