Other fuel tank parts

What is "stay rubber" for other fuel tank parts?

"Stay rubber" is a cushioning material sandwiched between the fuel tank and the mounting stay.

The truck's fuel tank rests on an "L" stay fixed to the vehicle frame and is secured with a band. Since the stay and the tank are made of metal, if they are in direct contact with each other, they may deteriorate faster or slip when subjected to vibrations. .

The dimensions of the stay rubber sold by Yamada Body Works are 3mm thick, 45mm wide and 5000mm long.

What are other fuel tank parts "hose hanging fittings"?

"Hose hanging hardware" is a part used for trucks equipped with multiple fuel tanks. The tank cock and fuel hose connect the main tank, which sends fuel to the engine, and the sub-tank, which supplies fuel to the main tank.

If the tank cock is on the bottom of the fuel tank, the fuel hose connecting between the cocks will hang down. If the fuel hose gets close to the ground, it may get caught on bumps in the road or falling objects and get damaged, so it is necessary to support it with a hose hook.

A "hose band" is also included to make it difficult to remove the fuel hose from the hose nipple of the tank cock. The fuel hose can be fixed simply by attaching a hose band to the end of the fuel hose and tightening the bolt.
