Instructions:
- Park on level ground, set parking brake, and disconnect the vehicle battery as a safety precaution.
- Safely raise and support the vehicle with jack stands, or use a lift to access the fuel tank area.
- Support the fuel tank with a floor jack and a block of wood to distribute load; do not rely on straps alone.
- If present, apply penetrating oil to existing fasteners and remove the old tank brace or hardware using the appropriate sockets/wrenches.
- Clean mounting surfaces and inspect straps, bolts, and tank for corrosion or damage; replace any worn hardware.
- Position the new brace on the tank mounting location (left or right side as required) and loosely install bolts to allow final alignment.
- Lower the tank slightly to align the brace and tighten bolts evenly. Torque fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended specifications if available; otherwise tighten securely without over-torquing.
- Re-check clearance around the tank, filler neck, and lines to ensure nothing is contacting moving parts.
- Lower the vehicle, reconnect the battery if disconnected, and test-drive at low speed to confirm there are no unusual noises or movement.
- After a short test drive, re-inspect the mounting hardware and retorque if necessary.
