jeepcoma Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Anyone know a good source for fuel tank straps? Advance Auto has them 3-strap kit for the LB fuel tank, seems kinda pricey at $50 but I've never shopped for them before (Summit has the 2-strap kit for similar price to Advance's 2-strap kit). Spectra Premium Fuel Tank Straps (includes 3 straps) ST117 edit: guess I answered my own question, RockAuto has the same part for $28. Any other sources or recommendations though? Do I need to drop the tank to replace these? My center one broke, I'm hoping I can swap them out one-at-a-time and leave the tank up.

Eagle Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Try to do it with the tank nearly empty. Put a 2x6 and a jack under the tank near the strap you're replacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 There is no need to drop the tank. Just replace the strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comanche12 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 There is no need to drop the tank. Just replace the strap. :agree: but i would add support like wood with jack, etc. as eagle said so for just in case if its fell on you. :smart: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the 2 strap set up, absolutely, use the block and jack. But I really don't think it's needed on the 3 strap set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
