Please make sure that the strips are not rubber. Rubber will corrode the Aluminum.
http://marinesurvey.com/yacht/fueltank.htm Suggestion is to glue some plastic strips where the wood will make contact with the tank. Even having the wood contact the tank will cause it to corrode.

Personally for the minimal effort involved... Just glass regular wood to the bottom of the hatch.... $50 and 2-3 hours and you can look at it again in 15 years.

Since I changed my tank, I have pulled the lid every year, inspected, and resealed with silicone.

putting a piece of wood in and re-glassing seems like more work tan (one of my keys isn't working) adding wood supports. I don't mind lifting and inspecting periodically , but I would like to do it rigt so eiter way is fine. wat doesn't corrode aluminum? seems like sensitive material
