Fuel tank strap question
Hi there,
I recently purchased a 1996 F250 7.5EFI from craigslist, it was only 1500 bucks and I just need a dump runner for the weekends. After I bought it I got an inspection at my mechanic, and found that one gas tank strap for the front tank is being held together with duct tape.....so it needs replacing. Im decently mechanical, so I am going to try to replace it myself but Im getting some mixed results while searching for parts. Basically I need to know if the tank a side mount or midship mount? And is there a way to determine size besides filling it? The tank runs front to back of the truck, so I'm guessing it would be a side mount, but I figured I would ask some people with a little more knowledge than me. Thanks for any info you can provide.
