Yeah. This was a throwback to the early days when original G4 cars had problems using all the fuel in the tanks. So the washer was added to ensure the front of the tank was higher then the rear.
But as you have pointed out. This is no longer really needed. Just check on removal that....
1. The front of the tank is still higher then the rear.
2. The bottom of the tank does not protrude from the chassis and scrape the floor.
Can't beat having a slow COG !!
