The underseat tank is held in place by 2 straps and four bars. There is nothing else that prevent its removal other than the plumbing and electrical connections. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 116 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 116 | It's under the seat. I removed the 4 bars. How do you remove the straps? It's hat to see because the crevices are caked with rotten soy beans. Am I looks for screws or bolts? And are they in the cab or beneath the truck? Thanks.

The straps are flexible so only one of the nuts on each strap need be removed to remove the tank. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 116 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 116 |
