Fuel tank coupling assembly

A vehicle, comprising:

• a vehicle body including a floor pan, wherein the floor pan includes at least one pan opening;
• a fuel tank coupled to the floor pan, wherein the fuel tank includes a tank body and a plurality of tabs extending from the tank body, wherein each of the tabs defines a tab opening and has a height;
• a coupling assembly coupling the fuel tank to the floor pan, wherein the coupling assembly includes:
• at least one strap partially surrounding the fuel tank, wherein the at least one strap defines a strap opening;
• at least one fastener extending through the strap opening, and the tab opening in order to couple the strap to the fuel tank;
• a compression sleeve partially positioned in the tab opening, wherein the compression sleeve defines a sleeve opening, and the at least one fastener extends through the sleeve opening and the at least one pan opening in order to couple the fuel tank to the floor pan;
• and
• wherein the compression sleeve has a height that is greater than the height of each of the tabs in order to attenuate transfer of tensile loads from the at least one strap to the tabs.
