Strap inspection and care

A center tank strap sits between the front and rear strap points and holds the middle of the tank against its mounting bracket. Because the strap carries load across the whole tank, a loose or thinned strap can allow the tank to rock and rub on the frame. Vehicles that have seen off-road use, road salt or many years of service often show rust where the strap meets the bracket.

When choosing a replacement, confirm the tank capacity and material first, since the strap is shaped for a specific tank. Check the bracket, the bolts and any rubber pads at the same time so the strap seats evenly. If the tank was dropped or has been repaired, inspect the shell as well, and avoid tightening a strap around a dented or cracked tank.

  • Check tank size and material before buying
  • Inspect the bracket for cracks and rust
  • Replace worn pads or bolts during the same job
  • Look for tank rub marks on the frame

Questions & Answers

Is this strap for a 20 gallon tank?

Yes. It is made for a 20 gallon polyethylene or steel tank. Check your tank's capacity and material before installing.

Does it fit a Scrambler?

Yes. It fits the 1981–1985 Jeep Scrambler in Base, Laredo, Renegade, SL and SR trims. Match your year and trim before installing.

Which position is this strap?

It is the center strap, made for the middle position of the tank. Count the hardware on your old strap and compare it with what you have before starting.

How often should tank straps be inspected?

Inspect them whenever the tank is dropped for service and during regular underbody checks. Look for rust that has thinned the metal and for a tank that moves when pushed by hand.

What causes tank straps to fail?

Road salt, moisture and mud speed corrosion, while worn rubber pads can let the tank rub the strap. Heavy loads on a rough trail add stress at the bolt holes.
