Made to reproduce original contours and mounting points, they provide dependable, long-lasting support for restoration projects or routine maintenance with easy bolt-up installation.

Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 60-90 minutes
Instructions:
- Work in a well-ventilated area and disconnect the negative battery cable to reduce electrical risk.
- Relieve any residual fuel pressure per vehicle service guidance and, if practical, reduce tank fuel level to minimize weight and fumes.
- Raise the vehicle securely on jack stands and place a floor jack with a block of wood under the fuel tank to support it.
- Apply penetrating oil to strap mounting bolts and nuts; allow time to soak if corroded.
- Loosen and remove the strap mounting bolts while continually supporting the tank with the floor jack; lower the tank slightly if needed to access straps—do not fully drop the tank unless necessary.
- Remove the old straps and inspect tank mounting flanges, rubber isolators, and hardware; replace isolators or damaged hardware as needed.
- Position the new mounting straps around the tank, aligning them to the factory mounting points and any existing isolators.
- Install bolts and hand-tighten to hold the straps in place, then raise the jack slightly to seat the tank and straps into final position.
- Tighten mounting hardware to secure the straps. If available, torque to factory specification; otherwise tighten until secure and recheck after a short test drive.
- Lower the vehicle, reconnect the battery, check for any fuel line disturbance or leaks, and perform a short test drive to confirm secure mounting.
