Fuel Tank - are there straps/supports that hold the fuel tank?

[IMBRONCOV]

Are there straps/supports that hold the fuel tank? I'm assuming the skid plates do not support the tank.
Can someone confirm for me? Thank you.

If you have the factory tank skid, that is what holds the tank up. There are no straps.

For those that don’t have the factory tank skid, there are straps instead.

Thanks. I was hoping you wouldn't say that.

Valid question due to my 86 has both. I would have thought that the 6G would as well, buuuuuut. Go figure.

Thanks again for our inside SME @Ducati1098!

FWIW...AI sez...
Yes, the 2021-2025 Ford Bronco First Edition 4-Door model is equipped with front and rear fuel tank straps. These metal straps hold and secure the vehicle's fuel tank to the underbody. [1, 2, 3]
If you need to replace or inspect them, the 4-door Bronco uses distinct OEM part numbers:

• Front Strap: Part #MB3Z-9054-B
• Rear Strap: Part #MB3Z-9054-A

Yeah but those straps go away if you install the fuel tank skid, and the fuel tank sits right on top of the skid plate instead.

Exactly, and since it's a first edition, I'm assuming it definitely has the skid
