Description
Overview:
The Sponge (Tank Bracket) - Robin Part - RB284 65001 03 is a dense, durable sponge insert used to support and cushion a tank where it sits in its bracket. It helps keep the tank stable, limits vibration, and reduces chafing between the tank and frame, which can extend service life and minimise noise. Suitable for small construction and garden machinery, it is commonly found on compact petrol-powered equipment such as generators, pumps, compressors, plate compactors, and tillers. Made from resilient sponge material, it compresses to hold the tank securely without hard contact, helping to prevent wear on both the tank body and the mounting surfaces. This part provides a straightforward, tidy replacement when the original pad has flattened, perished, or gone missing.
Key Features:
- Direct replacement for RB284 65001 03, sized for typical tank bracket recesses
- Dense sponge material provides cushioning and vibration damping to protect the tank and frame
- Helps prevent movement, abrasion, and paint wear on mounting points during operation
- Simple to fit: removes and replaces easily during routine maintenance
- Non-metallic and non-sparking, with no risk of corrosion
- Supports stable tank alignment to maintain reliable fuel delivery and reduce rattles
- Suitable for use on a wide range of compact construction and garden machines
- Cost-effective part to restore secure tank mounting without modifying brackets
Typical Applications:
Used anywhere a small tank is clamped or seated in a bracket on compact machinery. Typical uses include mounting pads for fuel tanks on generators, water pumps, pressure washers, plate compactors, cutters, scarifiers, and cultivators. It is also useful as a service replacement when refurbishing older equipment where the original sponge has hardened or fallen away, restoring proper support and reducing vibration.
Also known as:
Tank support sponge, tank cushion bracket, tank mounting pad, tank bracket pad, tank seat sponge, anti-vibration tank sponge, tank isolator pad, fuel tank cushion. These terms refer to the same type of sponge insert designed to support and stabilise a tank within its bracket on small engines and compact machinery.
