Anti-squeak question #2

w30bob · Post by **w30bob** » Thu Jun 08, 2017 9:47 pm

HI Guys,

I just noticed in the ORD that there are 7 pieces of anti-squeak used with the A1 gas tank!!!
Why are there so many pieces used? Don't you just need 2 strips under the tank and one under the strap? Was it used on the sides of the tank as well as under the tank? Is this shown in any of the Pubs?

Thanks,
Bob

The M38 has three long pieces under the tank,
laid so water can get out. Additional pieces are under
the straps holding it down as well as the rear hold down
bracket.

And yes, one of the manuals should show the pieces.
As many times as they have been discussed I bet you'll
find some posts with the search function.

Take care,

And included in the manuals available here
free for download as well as Wes' photo pages:

Hi B,

Yes, I did a search but only found posts regarding the M38. Maybe folks spell "anti-squeak" differently. I'll try again. And I did see the pic you linked to in the ORD, but didn't think it was showing the actual orientation of the strips. For some reason when I looked at the pic from your link it now looks like maybe it is.

So there's no anti-squeak used under the strap?

thanks,
bob

Hi Bob,
I can't tell from that image from the manual. Perusing the manual
might show the strip separately.

In any case I'd install one to protect your tank.

Just my two cents.

I can understand Bob not knowing the TM 9-8014 list the fuel tank removal and installation on pages 157 & 158, BUT both of you not bothering to read the most obvious manual pages for the task at hand!!!!!

Wes,
You are right. I have discovered parts
descriptions buried within the removal and installation
instructions in the maintenance manuals not listed
elsewhere.

Like the screws, washers and nuts holding the cowl to
radiator rod on the M38. It describes in what order those
parts are installed.

Thanks for the reminder.

And here I was hoping at least one of you would read the page and find the answer to Bob's question:

So there's no anti-squeak used under the strap?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wes,

Thanks. I found it right where you said it was. For Brian, who I must say has disappointed both of us........this is what it says;

(2) Position the antisqueak (P) over the top of the tank, install
the mounting strap (Q) over the antisqueak, install a 5/16 x 7/8
lockwasher screw (K) through the hole in the strap at the
front and the rear of the tank, and screw into the floor pan
cover.

So c'mon Brian........let's get with the program down there in Texas! Pays atten.....I says pays attention son.....the man is trying to learning ya something.

thanks guys,
bob
