Fuel Tank Straps?

[Silver95Stint]

I finally have the parts that I need to change my fuel pump on my 93 LX. The only problem I am running into...I can't find replacement fuel Tank straps. The ones that are currently on the car are rusted and corroded, and need to be replaced when I replace the fuel pump. Where can I get fuel Tank Straps from? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

didnt see anything on 5.0 resto.

maybe try some classifieds, ebay, or at a junkyard would be my guess.

Chris make a awesome replacement tank, it is alum . He supplies new alum straps with the tank, I am sure they will sell them seperate if you want those.

Thanks all who helped. I decided to go with gooch's advice and choose rock auto. They can deliver overseas and the price was 20.79. Thank yall again though, because I was really gettin a headache with this thing. Now if I can just get this tank off, I will be in business. How hard of a job is it to replace your fuel pump?

Not hard at all with the tank out. Just remove the retaining ring that holds the pump assembly in the top of the tank and pull it out and replace the pump.

Make sure you REPLACE the o-rings. I used the old ones during a gas tank change and when I filled up with gas..... I lost a few gallons on the ground at the gas station. Make sure the pump comes with a new O-ring or buy a new one before installing. I actually had to take my tank off twice because of the stupid o-rings and the problem was is that I had a full tank the second time when the rings leaked! Don't take the sender out if you can help it, it would need a new o-ring too before reassembly.

also, make sure you dont mix up the return line w/ the supply line.

 

[Rick 91GT]

The lines are different sizes so mixing them up is harder, no need to remove the fuel level sender for a fuel pump install.

what are the advantages of the aftermarket tank? i would like to see one, do u have a direct link?!??! is it the same capacity as stock and does everythign hook right back up? THANKS MAN!

The tank is alum and features a sump for running a external pump. THis is so guy can run a tank in the stock position, save some weight and not put in a cell.

Direct bolt it..

The pics do not do it justice, we have one going on our Cobra and it is a piece of art.

when you're taking out your pump,use a drift that doesn't spark(brass) you don't want any sparks from a metal punch sending you and the tank skyward
