Built for Ford Ranger Fuel Tank Service

The Dorman 578-286 is intended for Ford Ranger fuel tank replacement jobs where the original strap is worn, corroded, or no longer securing the tank properly. Its OE-style dimensions include a 24.9-inch strap length and 1.93-inch width for one strap, plus a 29.92-inch strap length and 1.97-inch width for the other, helping it match the original mounting layout on 2004-2011 Ford Ranger models without a skid plate. This part cross-references Ford 4L5Z9054AA and Spectra Premium ST286 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Corroded or rusted fuel tank straps
• Loose or sagging fuel tank support
• Strap damage from road debris and weather exposure
• Fuel tank service where the original strap should be replaced
• Fitment concerns on 2004-2011 Ford Ranger, wo/Skid Plate
