If no damage is found, install the 200mm piece of split tubing (126-6603) over top of the Sprinter harness at the potential contact point with the tank bracket.
6
Install a 200mm (8 inches) piece of Wind lace (140-3021) on the side of the angled hanger bracket at the potential contact point to protect the wiring harnesses.

Locate the bracket on the front passenger side of the fresh water tank.
