CJ gas tank install
Hi,
I need some assistance. The PO just let the gas tank rest on the bottom of the skid plate. He even put some corogated cardboard down to cushion it. Now It's rusted through and needs to be replaced. I don't find any means of installing straps. Shouldn't it be suspended? Can anyone explain or show me photo's? Thanks.

The tank has one strap to hold it into the skid plate. The skid plate then bolts up on. Places like quadratec sell the straps or even our local parts stores have them. There is a plastic liner in mine between the tank and skid plate.

Here's some photos and I'm guessing your 1980 CJ-5 gas tank mounting will be the same as the 1984 CJ-7 pictured.

Perfect. Thanks. I knew there had to be a strap. Just couldn't figure out where it would go. So the tank straps to the skid plate with some rubber cushion between, then the whole thing bolts to the chassis.

It's actually not rubber but 1/8" thick plastic sheet and it prevents chaffing and noise between the tank and skid plate.
