Methods and apparatus to provide a protective barrier to fuel tank coupling apparatus are described. An example method includes coupling a barrier to an outer surface of the fuel tank, where the barrier includes a support surface and a wall protruding from the support surface to define a cavity; providing a weld pad within the cavity such that a first side of the weld pad engages the support surface; disposing a valve within the cavity of the barrier after the barrier is coupled to the outer surface such that a flange portion of the valve engages the weld pad and at least a portion of the valve is positioned in the fuel tank; and heating the weld pad and the flange portion of the valve to a temperature greater than a melting temperature of a material of the flange portion and the weld pad.
