They need it! I was just discussing with someone about how it seems kinda dumb the metal straps are directly sitting on the plastic tank. Forces are forces, from statics we can see it doesn't matter how tightly you hold the tank, the force vertical for example of the car moving will apply to the tank through the strap with no damping, full stress, full force.
