Dorman Fuel Tank Strap for Express and Savana

The Dorman 578-701 fuel tank strap is a direct replacement for the original strap used on select Chevrolet Express 3500 and GMC Savana 3500 vans.

• Steel construction for strength and support
• Black powder-coated housing color for added corrosion resistance
• Tab-style ends on both sides for factory-style attachment

Product Details

This fuel tank strap is engineered for vehicles that need a replacement support strap during tank removal, tank service, or strap corrosion repair. The Dorman 578-701 follows the original strap layout for the listed Chevrolet Express 3500 and GMC Savana 3500 fitments, helping restore secure fuel tank retention without changing the factory mounting style. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Help Solve

• Corroded or weakened fuel tank strap material

• Noise or vibration from an unsecured tank
• Need for a direct replacement strap on high-mileage vans

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the strap during fuel tank service or when the original strap shows rust, cracking, or loss of tension. Verify the vehicle application before installation, and compare the original strap shape, length, and end style to the Dorman 578-701. Mounting hardware is not included, so reuse or source the required hardware separately if needed.
