Default Gas Tank Problems

Hi Guys,

I am having a problem with my gas tank and I was wondering if any of you had a similar experience or possible solution.

The driver's side top of my gas tank is caving in. The driver's side bottom is bulging out. I suspect that the bottom bulging is deforming the top and causing it to cave in. I noticed there are only 2 straps supporting the gas tank from below but there is a spot for a third. I am going to add a third strap and that will hopefully fix the problem. I also thought it was a venting problem but the vent seems to flow OK.

Anyone had a similar experience, possible solution? Am I missing something? You might want to take a look at your tank just in case.

Thanks Jim
