I need that anti squeak strip that sits between the tank and the straps. LMC and NPD are a no go. Anyone know where I can get it?

There are many products. Just measure the width and decide whether you want the strap to sit inside it or just simply placed under it.

You can use canvas webbing, cotton belt or rubber strips. Just contact glue it to the metal straps.

If you can get your hands on an old piece of conveyor belt, you can cut to size, clean the straps and use a good rubber adhesive.

X2 on old inner tube, canvas, conveyer belt or old ratchet strap material. Remember any material that can hold moisture, can lead to rusting. Heck even rubber can trap moisture. Here is the PO hack job, yes I think that is bondo in there. And yes the tank held for quite a while them started leaking in the rear passenger side corner. Coat the underside of the tank with some DIY roll on bed liner or spray undercoating BEFORE you put the straps back up.




Yes I used old ratchet strap, because I did not know any better at the time.

That was a great point about the roll/spray-on liner, 78&79 f250. I'm changing both tanks. The rear is 38 gallons and I had to delete the spare tire holder. Tired of it. The side hasn't been used in ...10+ years and thought it'd be easier to replace than restore.

But tanks are on back order until October!! Grumble. I'm going on a long trip and wanted to have a working fuel gauge to calculate mpg.

Thanks for all the ideas/responses about the straping material.
