Anything that cushions and can be cut to shape, I used a piece of carpet, cut to fit snugly inside the lid. I tried draught excluder but found when the tank flexed with the suction it allowed air to leak in.

This was on an aluminium Prochem tank which had a braced section, if your tank is just an open top the carpet idea wouldn't  work as it would just fall out

High modulus silicone - from B & Q or the likes.   Put it on thick on the full width of the rim on the top of the tank - not on the lid.   Perfect seal and will last you till your an OAP and beyond
