Those brackets you refer to must hug the tank closely. Especially for the grey and black tanks. When there is a gap between the brackets and tanks it stresses the tank to failure. The two piece tanks are very susceptible. My friends brackets were so far apart (keystone manufacturing problem) he went through 3 tanks before rewelding the brackets to be closer.
