Ive got 2 Trailblazers both with the 18.7 gallon fuel tank. Just noticed on my 2002 the rear tank strap has rotted and tank is hanging. They apparently do not sell a strap kit for the older trailblazers anymore. Only for the 22 gallon and 25 gallon tanks. My 03, a couple years ago i had to replace rusted fuel sending unit. I was just about to cut the tank straps because of the bolts spinning but i came to find this issue back then aswell. Couldnt get my hands on a new set of straps for it so i was able to save the straps and just ground the bolt head off and fabricated my own tank strap mounts.
Anyone have this problem themselves and found a solution? Seems kinda dumb they dont sell 18.7 tank straps anymore or non that i can find.
Obviously the quick fix is just using a ratchet strap which im not opposed to doing. The vehicle does have nearly 300k on it and i live in MN. Its very rusty and the rest of the truck will surely fall apart before the drive train gives out on me.
