ALL that actually holds the tank is the strap- honest!. It sits on a pad
wrapped around the frame rail but the 'holding' is all done with only the
strap. Once the tank is shifted to your liking, you may need to slip a second
small bolt in the holding-strap's lower slot, as a prevention for the tank
sliding back to its original position. My estimate is a 3/4-full tank weighs
around 115 lbs. Good luck- J Deryke
