1. FRONT “Z” BRACKET WITH 2 HOLES DRILLED IN IT; THE FRONT OF THE TANK GOES INTO THIS BRACKET AFTER THE BRACKET IS BOLTED TO THE ORIGINAL 2 HOLES.

2. REAR “Z” BRACKET WITH 1 HOLE DRILLED IN IT, THIS BRACKET HOLDS UP THE REAR OF THE TANK AFTER THE TANK IS INSERTED INTO THE FRONT BRACKET AND USES THE ORIGINAL HOLE THAT THE METAL TANK WAS FASTENED TOO.

3. THE CENTER STRAP REPLACES THE ORIGINAL CENTER STRAP THAT MOST OF THE METAL TANKS WERE EQUIPPED WITH. USE THE LONG BOLT SUPPLIED WITH THE KIT ON ONE END OF THIS STRAP AND USE THIS LONG BOLT TO PULL THE TANK UP TIGHT TO THE UPPER BRACKETS THAT ARE ALREADY FASTENED TO THE UNDERNEATH OF THE FLOOR BOARDS. SINCE BRINGING THIS REPLACEMENT TANK TO THE MARKET PLACE, WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED SEVERAL VERSIONS OF THIS TANK. SOME DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE ORIGINAL MOUNTING BRACKETS AND SOME HAVE DIFFERENT HOSE ARRAINGEMENTS. IF YOUR OLD TANK HAS MORE HOSES, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO PUT A “T” IN THE LINE AND CREATE AN ADDITIONAL PLACE TO HOOK-UP THE OLD HOSES TO THE NEW TANK. MTS DOES NOT ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO BYPASS OR ELIMINATE ANY FEDERAL EMMISSIONS EQUIPMENT. ALL OF OUR TANKS HAVE AN EMMISSION RETURN LINE IF THE ORIGINAL WAS SO EQUIPPED.
