Just been reading in practical motorhome about a guy who's gas tank partly fell off as he was driving, they heard the grinding sound coming from under the van and stopped immediately. It turned out that the metal strapping holding the tank in place had gone rusty. The strapping was covered in PVC so although the owner had checked them he could not see the rust. The water had got inside the PVC outer and the rust was the result.
They were lucky inasmuch that while the tank fell off none of the pipes were ruptured, and once recovered they easily refitted their tank and were soon back on their way. If you have an under slung tank then don't leave it too long between inspections, you might not be so lucky as those guys
