Description
Overview:
The Wire Tank Strap SA 3556 is a formed steel wire strap used to secure the fuel tank on vintage JAP stationary engines. Built for reliable clamping without crushing the tank, it helps keep the tank stable against vibration and movement during operation. This strap is suitable for JAP 3 and JAP 4 engines and also fits JAP 5 and JAP 6 models used on a range of light plant and machinery. Supplied as unused old stock, the strap may show cosmetic tarnishing from storage, but this does not affect performance. A practical choice for restorations and routine maintenance, it replaces worn or missing straps to maintain safe, consistent fuel tank positioning and protect pipework from strain.
Key Features:
- Robust formed steel wire construction for long service life
- Designed for JAP 3/4/5/6 engine tank mounts for a straightforward fit
- Helps prevent tank movement and vibration-related wear
- Suitable for restoration projects and ongoing maintenance
- Unused old stock; may have minor storage tarnish that does not impact function
- Simple, tool-light installation using existing brackets or lugs
- Maintains safe routing and support of fuel lines by securing the tank firmly
Typical Applications:
Used to secure the fuel tank on classic JAP stationary engines found on light construction equipment, pumps, small generators, agricultural kit, and garden machinery. Ideal for workshop rebuilds, sympathetic restorations, and service replacements where the original strap is missing, stretched, or corroded.
