Strap set and tank compatibility
A fuel tank strap set holds the tank in its mounting cradle and keeps it from shifting under load. The strap ends and bolts are the parts most likely to wear, along with the cradle itself. When choosing a strap set, match it to the tank design first, since strap length and hole position depend on the tank as much as the vehicle.
Steel tanks can rust from the inside and outside, especially when fuel sits for long periods or water collects in the bottom. Before installing, inspect the tank for seam leaks and check the cradle for cracks. Working on the fuel system calls for the tank empty, a clean work area and a fire extinguisher nearby. Keep the old straps until the new set is confirmed to seat properly.
- Confirm the tank part number before buying
- Inspect the cradle for cracks and rust
- Check the tank for seam leaks before installing
- Replace worn bolts along with the strap set
