Have to replaced the double sided tape on the Stratus that holds the tank. What tape should I use that is fuel resistant?

I don't really know of any tape that is fuel resistant. The alcohol and nitro in the fuel will break down the adhesive used on the tape.

The tape that MA uses is a 3M Product. It is one of 3M's best adhesive double sided tape.

3M Scotch VHB (Very High Bond) Foam Tape—Adhesive on Both Sides
This 100% acrylic foam tape bonds so strongly that in many situations it can take the place of rivets, spot welds, liquid adhesives, and other permanent fasteners. Has an acrylic adhesive on both sides that is "built into the tape," giving it super-strong, long-lasting holding power that is significantly higher than other tapes. Tape has closed-cell construction, conforms to irregular surfaces, and can be used for interior and exterior applications. Supplied on cardboard spool with a 3" ID.


The above is what MA supplies on the tank plates.
Here is the USA it is available thru McMaster Carr and several other industrial supply places.
Don't have any idea where you might get it in Sweden.
