Fuel Tank Strap for Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ

Dorman 578-642 is a direct replacement fuel tank strap built for vehicles that need secure tank support after service or replacement. Made from steel with a black finish, it is engineered to handle road exposure and weather conditions while matching the original mounting style.

Key Features

  • Direct replacement fuel tank strap for OE-style fitment
  • Steel construction for strength and durability
  • Black finish for corrosion-resistant appearance
  • Bolt hole ends on both sides for factory-style attachment
  • Designed for fuel tank service on Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ applications

Detailed Description

This Dorman fuel tank strap is made for 2015 Ford Fusion, 2017-2019 Ford Fusion, and 2013-2016 Lincoln MKZ applications. It is a practical replacement when the original strap is damaged, rusted, or removed during fuel tank service. The steel construction and black coating help it stand up to harsh road and weather exposure, while the bolt hole ends support a factory-style mounting layout. If you are replacing a fuel tank on a Ford Fusion or Lincoln MKZ, Dorman 578-642 provides the correct style of support for the tank assembly.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., ST461) for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

  • Rust or corrosion on the original fuel tank strap
  • Broken or weakened strap during fuel tank removal

  • Service repairs on Ford Fusion fuel storage components
  • Replacement work on Lincoln MKZ fuel tank mounting hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the tank, mounting points, and surrounding hardware before installation. Replace worn or damaged mounting surfaces as needed so the strap seats correctly. Verify vehicle application by year and model before ordering, and confirm the strap orientation matches the original layout on the Ford Fusion or Lincoln MKZ. Part number 578-642 should be matched to the vehicle’s fuel tank configuration before installation.
