Is the fuel tank divider to keep the two fuel tanks away from each other?

Seem sealed the engine bay and body deadner in the tank area. Now I have always been a fat seem seal guy and today I sent this picture to a friend who I won’t name and Matt said I should have taped it up and made a skinny line

Nice job Wiz. Body deadened is much smoother than I was expecting. Will you paint colour over the wheel wells later or leave them grey?

I think it will stay grey, next step will be getting the suspension in, then I will take it to Coopers to paint it
I want to paint it green like my Ute because I have some paint left over, Nikki wants me to paint it Dove Blue
