Porsche Fuel Tank Strap (Boxster Cayman) - Genuine Porsche 99150423301

Product Information

A Fuel Tank Strap is a metal support bracket that holds the fuel tank securely to the underside of a vehicle. Most vehicles use two straps (sometimes more) to cradle the tank and keep it from shifting, sagging, or falling while driving. They are typically made of steel and are bolted to the chassis.

• Sagging or loose fuel tank – the tank may hang lower than usual or appear unstable.
• Clunking or rattling noises – metal-on-metal or tank movement sounds from under the car.
• Visible rust or cracks on straps – corrosion weakens the straps, leading to possible breakage.

About Genuine Porsche

The original parts used by Porsche to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Porsche” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Porsche, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Porsche Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Porsche are not necessarily manufactured by Porsche. No cause for concern, as Porsche designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Porsche for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Porsche parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Porsche logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
