While operating the vehicle from just making a turn and accelerating to the road way speed of 30 mph, the stainless steel strap that secures the fuel tank to the frame of the vehicle suffered a failure. This failure was caused by corrosion of the frame chassis and the strap separating. The failure caused the 32 gallon fuel tank to lower toward the road way and the remaining strap to drag along the street pavement. This failure created a risk of fire/ and sparks from the dragging metal.
