Two problems related to tank mounting have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Traveling along heard a noise stopped and got out to see that a gas tank strap had busted. Several months ago I had to replace brake lines that had rusted through causing me to loose braking. I am thinking that even though it is older and has miles things on a vehicle should not be rusting through .
Bought a new 1999 chevy Silverado and the strap on the gas tank has rusted off, which we fell this is a real safety factor, luck have it we were close to home, when you buy a brand new vehicle you don't expect the gas tank strap to rust off after just 6 1/2 half to 7 years. Could of been very( dangerous).
