Additional information
This engine fuel tank bracket mounts to the engine frame and holds the fuel tank securely in place. Part number 951-11182 helps prevent fuel tank movement that could strain fuel lines or interfere with normal engine operation.
If the bracket bends, cracks, or loosens, the fuel tank may shift or vibrate while the engine is running. This can lead to fuel line stress, fuel leaks, or noticeable movement of the tank during equipment use.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental engine startup. Handle the bracket carefully during installation and make sure all fasteners are tightened securely so the fuel tank stays properly supported.
