The metal straps that hold the tank in place are so
badly rusted that you can see through them in
places. Somehow, I don't want to hold 15 gallons of
gas off the road with these flimsy straps. I got
some stock steel, about 3 times as thick, and bent
it into identically-shaped straps. There were a
little tighter than the original, but the tank went
back in the car, just the same. With the fuel line
reinstalled, all I have left to do is to replace
the in-line fuel filter.
