Consumer Description

The fuel tank strap, also known as a fuel tank heat shield, protects the gas tank from debris during driving and off-road use. The original part number is WFN500021 which replaces WFI500053. Due to the metal chosen to make this shield, and the materials of other parts around it, it suffers from galvanic corrosion. As the tank shield starts to rust, that causes rust in other areas to start as well. The shield on my vehicle has probably about 30-40% of its original life left, and I do fear it falling out at some point and possibly the fuel tank going with it as the mounting points for the fuel tank may be corroded along with the tank strap.
