Helpful video! If you find you can't get all 4 rusted bolts off of the plastic gas tank cover, keep in mind that you might be able go straight to the strap removal, and the straps and plastic cover can separate from the tank together. Just be sure to support the tank.

This video was very helpful as my rusted straps broke off recently so now I have to buy a new strap and cover

[@lordofwar9638]

That ratchet strap was there because they knew the tank strap was bad lol

Great! I was just driving down the road and heard a unsettling noise, my tank strap on my 2010 Toyota Tacoma broke and was banging up against my drive shaft, sigh...🙄 Apparently I don't have that plastic cover though, Great video, thanks!

How often do these fail, or how long do they generally last?

[@hansennip]

Mine have lasted about 12 years.

What size are the nuts that holds the plastic cover up….i know it takes a 12mm socket I was gonna go ahead & pick up 4 stainless steel nuts & bolts before I start

Cool beans. Thanks for these vids!

I can not put the tank cover back...the holes do not align with the bolts and the shield does not bend enough.. what to do?

U made this job look hard man

[@HowlinMad37]

The ground is because plastic create static electricity which is not good for your fuel tank LOL

[@tomlarocque4720]

Commonly refered to as a bonding wire :)

The owner probably put that ratchet strap there. Ive got a used 2007 tundra and i noticed last week the fuel tank was hanging low in the rear. Busted tank strap. Ill be doing this later this morning.

My rear strap broke so I replaced it, and decided to paint the straps with enamel paint.. rust never sleeps...

[@javiergardea8053]

Use a breaker bar on those rotted bolts
