jaysm35a2 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Reason I ask , I had a bit of rust on the fuel tank band on the pass. side. Took care of it all... I thought, I guess I missed a little under the band when I sanded it and after driving it last Saturday I found a fuel leak from the tank. Working on that now.Have you thought of a paint job your going with yet? ,Jay Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/20032-fuel-tanks/#findComment-83069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 most all i have seen are mounted at an angle. only ones i have seen straight are fire trucks or ex fire trucks. have seen a few fire trucks changed over into tractors and they have a spacer block between the frame and the bracket. i guess this was to get the brackets paralell so the side skirts would align with the tank body? thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/20032-fuel-tanks/#findComment-83089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
