I looked at mine the other day and noticed on pass. side that the two strap bolts were not flush with the frame. I stuck my hand on the other side and it had pleanty of thread. I am wondering if this is a jam nut and it is not supposed to be flush. I am thinking that the straps have tension on them and thats about it(similar to a hose clamp). I may take a photo and check with my medium duty dealer. Has any one actually contacted a MD dealer for this situation.

My strap bolts are in the same state, one side up tight and flush, the other backed out a little but tight. I believe tension is the answer. However this is not the only thing that holds the tank in, there are 2 bolts on each end that attach the tank to the cross members of the frame. If the strap bolts loosened the tank is still supported.
