EMPI 8" Fuel Tank Strap - Black Finish

Secure Your Fuel System

This EMPI fuel tank strap is a heavy-duty replacement designed for aircooled VW applications, including Beetles and custom Dune Buggies. Constructed from durable steel with a sleek black coating, it provides a reliable hold for your fuel tank while maintaining a clean, professional look in your chassis or engine bay. It is specifically engineered to handle the vibrations and demands of both street and off-road environments.

Product Specifications

Designed for precision fitment, this strap features a 1-inch width and an 8-inch overall length. The mounting pattern is set at 4 3/4 inches center-to-center, making it a standard choice for many aftermarket and OEM-style tank configurations. Sold individually, these straps are essential for any restoration or custom build requiring a secure fuel cell or tank mount.

Pro Tech Tips

Verify Your Measurements: Before installation, confirm that your existing bracket or mounting points match the 4 3/4-inch center-to-center pattern. While this is a standard size for many VW applications, custom buggies may require slight adjustments to the mounting tabs for a perfect bolt-on fit.

Prevent Vibration Wear: To avoid metal-on-metal contact and potential paint chafing on your fuel tank, place a thin strip of rubber or adhesive foam padding on the underside of the strap. This dampens vibration and prevents the strap from digging into the tank over time.

Inspect Hardware Integrity: When replacing your fuel tank straps, always inspect the mounting bolts and the surrounding sheet metal for signs of rust or fatigue. Using fresh, high-grade hardware ensures the strap maintains maximum tension and keeps your fuel system secure during aggressive driving.
