Fuel tank skid plates are an important component of any vehicle, as they are responsible for the protection of the fuel tank from damage. 

The skid plate helps protect the fuel tank from damage that could result in a leak or a fire, which could be catastrophic for any vehicle.

The main purpose of a fuel tank skid plate is to absorb and/or deflect any impact that may occur to it when driving over rough terrain. The skid plate acts as a buffer between the ground and the fuel tank, protecting it from punctures, scrapes, and other forms of damage.

In addition to providing protection for your vehicle's fuel tank, having a properly installed skid plate can also aid in improving gas mileage by reducing drag caused by air turbulence around the underside of your vehicle.

This means you get more out of every gallon you put into your vehicle while reducing your overall carbon footprint at the same time!

Overall, having a fuel tank skid plate on your vehicle can provide several benefits both in terms of performance as well as safety. Not only do they help protect your precious cargo (the fuel) but they can also help increase gas mileage by reducing drag caused by air turbulence around your car's underside while also dampening road vibrations to make for a smoother ride overall!
