The fwd plastic tank on a 4wd is NOT get held up with straps. Only 2wd fwd steel tank uses straps. The 4wd plastic tank uses a skid plate/shield that is notorious for rusting out due to a very bad drainage design.
so do you think i could repair this(see attached image) there was also a extra bracket inside the thing
so it is the plastic tank because the fuel sender unit on the other tank is cut (see attached picture) and i get a fuel level on my dash plus whenever i run low on gas and refill the saddle tank i am good on fuel. the only thing that could get rust to the carb would be the lines. and the sender is new when i dropped the tank to clean it
Your fuel lines should be stainless so that shouldn't rust either
well just because they are stainless does not mean they can't rust in fact they can and will rust on ya it just takes longer to rust then normal iron or steel. do to the high chromium content but under certain conditions it can still rust like salt on road and leaves mud and salt just staying in one spot can cause it to rust after a while
