What Is a Fuel Tank Strap?

The fuel tank straps are metal brackets that secure a vehicle’s fuel tank in place. The straps attach to the underbody of the vehicle using fuel tank strap bolts. Vehicles may come with two or three fuel tank straps, depending on their make and model year.

What Are Fuel Tank Straps For?

These steel straps hold the fuel tank in the correct position against the vehicle chassis. Without them, the fuel tank is likely to get jostled as you drive your vehicle at high speeds. An unsecured fuel tank becomes more likely to get damaged by kicked-up road debris such as rocks, branches, and hard ice.

What Are the Signs of a Bad or Failing Fuel Tank Strap?

Here are some common symptoms that suggest you may need to have your fuel tank straps replaced.

Noises coming from underneath the vehicle

One of the most common signs that you may have a broken fuel tank strap is unusual squeaking and noises from where your fuel tank sits. As the vehicle moves, the loose strap may hit nearby parts or get dragged on the ground if a bolt gives out. If you notice any of these sounds while driving your vehicle, it’s a good idea to check your fuel tank straps.

Fuel odors or leak

If your fuel tank strap has come loose because of debris or impact, it’s likely that surrounding components like fuel lines get cracked and damaged as well. One of the telltale signs that you have a fuel system leak is if you can notice the smell of gasoline from inside the passenger cabin. In some cases, you may even see a puddle forming underneath your vehicle.

If you suspect that your vehicle has a fuel leak, it’s highly recommended to enlist the help of a licensed mechanic immediately. Leaks of this nature must get addressed immediately because they can become a fire hazard if ignored. Extended exposure to fuel odors may also impact your health and cause symptoms such as headaches and nausea.

Corrosion damage

The fuel tank straps attach underneath the vehicle. This means they are at higher risk of getting damaged because of exposure to road debris, snow, and ice. These straps use metal, which means they could suffer from corrosion damage and rust buildup. Road salt and other chemicals may also have a negative impact on these straps. In older vehicles, the bolts holding the straps in place can become worn, damaged, or even go missing.

How Much Do Fuel Tank Straps Cost?

The cost to replace a damaged fuel tank strap will vary depending on your vehicle’s specific year, make, and model. In general, OE replacement fuel tank straps can cost you between $3 to $234. You may purchase a fuel tank strap individually, in sets of two to three, or as part of a kit. Keep in mind that some models come with a pair of straps, while others require three fuel tank straps.

Do Fuel Tank Straps Come With a Warranty?

For a safer choice, always look for trusted names in the market. Most offer 1-year to 5-year warranties for fuel tank straps.

Finding the Right Fit

When choosing a fuel tank strap for your vehicle, it’s important to select a replacement part that is compatible with the size of your fuel tank and whether it is front-, side-, or rear-mounted. You should also take note of the material of your fuel tank as some straps do not work with plastic tanks. Another thing you should consider is the number of straps. Most cars have two, but you can expect three or more when the vehicle is larger.

At CarParts.com, you’ll find a wide selection of fuel tank straps for a variety of makes and model years. You can rest assured that every single item in our catalog got tested and checked for quality by our industry professionals.

Replace Your Fuel Tank in a Faster and Safer Way

When you purchase your fuel tank straps, they usually come with their own hardware, nuts, bolts, washers. These, along with your tools at home, are the only things you need to replace your straps. In this step-by-step guide, you'll learn how to remove and replace the fuel tank strap.

Difficulty Level: Moderate

Tools you need:

Ratchet
Floor Jack
Jack stands
Pliers

Safety Tip: Wear safety equipment like eyewear, gloves, and appropriate work attire before you begin. Keep in mind that you are going under the car and working close to a flammable liquid.

Step 1: Park your car on a flat surface, and engage the parking brake.

Step 2: Jack the rear part of the car until you have good space to work underneath it.

Step 3: Place the jack stand underneath the car's solid frame.

Step 4: Locate the fuel tank and you will also see the fuel tank straps.

Step 5: Position another jack stand underneath the fuel tank as a precaution.

Step 6: Use your ratchet to unbolt one gas strap, pull the strap away, and do the same for the other.

Step 7: Attach the new fuel tank straps by bolting them in the same position as the previous ones.

Step 8: Jack the car once again and disengage the jack stands.

The entire process would take roughly 20-30 minutes to complete. To prevent any accident from happening while performing this replacement, here are some things to remember:

Use the right tools and use them properly. DO NOT hit the fuel strap with a hammer or any tool that may cause friction with the gas tank.
DO NOT smoke while you're under the car and working on the replacement. Make sure the fuel tank is supported properly when you have removed the tank straps.

What Is a Fuel Tank Strap?

Your vehicle’s fuel tank relies on a couple of metal fuel tank straps or gas tank straps to keep them securely in place. Each fuel tank strap is usually bolted to your vehicle’s frame. They protect your fuel tank from being jostled or damaged while you’re driving.

How Much Does a Fuel Tank Strap Replacement Cost?

Aftermarket fuel tank straps can cost anywhere from less than $10 to over $200 for a pair or set of straps. Exactly how much you’ll spend to replace fuel tank straps depends on several factors, such as the number of straps you need and the material of the straps. Fuel tank straps are easy enough to replace, so even if you don’t have time to do the job yourself, the labor cost shouldn’t be too high.
