Is it dangerous to drive with a failing bracket?

Yes, a tank that isn’t properly supported can eventually cause a fuel leak or come loose — repair promptly.

What is the bracket made of?

Steel, often galvanised or coated to resist corrosion given its exposed underbody position.

Given the safety-critical role of supporting the fuel tank, replacement is the more reliable choice over a repair.
