So gas Tank Strap broke off. Where can I buy stainless straps?

I feel like they weren't even stainless to begin with. So I need to know who has stainless straps? Since this happened. I haven't put more than $20 bucks in my tank in fear that it would stress out the 2nd strap and I have an issue. It seems to me that the tank is still kinda held on by the pump cause it is still ridiculously leveled for losing one strap.

Either way though. I don't want to keep putting this strain on the top of the tank and or pump cause I will probably have an issue there knowing my luck lol


Was looking on rockauto.com. And I seen straps on there but they are probably complete junk Tin foil. Knowing the bad quality I have gotten recently off that site. I wouldn't be surprised. And they don't have better ones available.

Honestly, the factorys may have been but... Call Nissan or a part yard. Undercoat or paint them to help stop this issue.

Home Depot, or your local hardware store. Get creative, should be easy to fix.

Yeah but all they will have is alum straps at hardware stores. Nothing that will have the same tight fit as a OEM fit strap.

The OE parts lasted 15 years, and they're cheap as hell.

Right: 17406-31U00, $34.80 @ Courtesy
Left: 17407-31U00, $36.72 @ Courtesy

Get some straps in decent condition from the junkyard and coat with bedliner.

I actually looked at mine this past summer and saw some signs of it giving way soon. Will be ordering these this summer coming up.
