Fuel tank sealing rubber is too thick

I have a new gas tank rubber trunk floor seal from Moss. It seems to be much thicker than necessary. And it does not want to compress. I know that this has been discussed before but I have searched the archives and cannot find the thread. What is the solution?
 
The Moss seal works very well with the Moss tank; not so well with an original or an AH Spares tank. The tank seal from A_H spares and others is not as thick or built up on one end. My experience was the Moss seal was to be used with their tank.

Hope this helps,

John
 
I used a high density closed cell foam from the hardware store. Used several sizes until I was happy. I installed some strips across the entire tank, not just the opening in the floor. That made it fit very nice and allowed a small air gap under it to allow any moisture to escape. Was it the best way? I don't know but the tank is solid and sealed in.
