2-Piece Fuel Tank Support Strap Set

Reliable Tank Security for Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis

Ensure your fuel system remains safely anchored with this 2-Piece Fuel Tank Strap Set. On full-size Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury sedans, the undercarriage is constantly exposed to moisture, road salt, and debris, which can cause factory straps to corrode, thin, and eventually snap. These replacement straps are engineered to restore the structural integrity of your fuel tank mounting, preventing dangerous tank sagging or movement.

Precision-formed to match the specific radius of the fuel tank, these straps are constructed from high-strength steel and finished with a black protective coating to resist future oxidation. This kit includes both straps required for a complete axle-set replacement, providing a direct-fit solution that utilizes your vehicle's original mounting points.

Installation and Technical Tips

• Safety Protocol: Fuel tank strap replacement should ideally be performed when the tank is nearly empty. A full tank is significantly heavier and places dangerous stress on your support tools and the remaining strap during the swap.

• Support the Tank: Always use a floor jack equipped with a wide wooden block or a dedicated fuel tank jack to support the weight of the tank before loosening the strap bolts. Never allow the tank to hang by the fuel lines, electrical harnesses, or the filler neck.

• Hardware Preparation: Because these straps are located in a high-corrosion area, the mounting bolts are often rusted. Apply a penetrating oil to the bolts 24 hours before installation to reduce the risk of snapping a bolt in the frame.

• Anti-Corrosion Measure: Before installing the new straps, inspect the areas where the straps contact the tank. Cleaning these surfaces and applying a thin layer of rubberized undercoating or an anti-chafing strip can further protect the tank and the new straps from future rust.
