RATTLE NEAR FUEL TANK BLUEBIRD 3800 T444E

[Shariblossom]

My Bluebrid 3800 T444E fule tank had a leak. I pulled it down got it welded and sealed put it back up and the bus started on a dime. However, I do have some sort of new rattle in that area. Every nut and bolt seems to be tight.

Could this be my fuel sending unit? Any other ideas what could cause this rattle?

Thanks in advance!

Could try knocking around with a rubber mallet to find the source of the rattle...

Did you drop a metal protection cage to remove tank? If so, did a metal strap break on reinstall?

Yes, I took that enormous cage down! A broken strap is a good thought but they're both there and nice and tight.

Might check out the exhaust system, this bus had a broken hanger that made a rattle and it was right next to the fuel tank.
