Fuel tank fastenings

[Gramas]

Need advice guys on best way of fastening down fuel tanks with ratchet strap etc, was thinking self tapers but unsure on deck thickness etc
What would be best ??

[kerny]

I fitted flush fitting D rings screwed down on to the deck either side off the tank and then use a quick release strap cut to size. Your floor should be at least 3/4 inch thick.

Use stainless screws and put some sikaflex onto the screws before screwing them down.

Did u pre drill holes with smaller dia drill to stop splitting?

No use self tappers.

Pic of D ring I think I got them of ebay. length is 80mm and D width is 30mm

I've got patches with fabric loops weaved into them which are glued to the floor. Saves having to drill holes. The ratchet strap runs around the tank & through the loops

The ratchet strap goes through the 2 loops either side off the tank & then attaches back on to itself
