Abstract:
An engine has an oil tank mounted to an engine wall with clevis ears formed on both the oil tank and a mount bracket secured to the engine wall. A link connects the mount bracket clevis ears to the oil tank clevis ears. The link has a pair of spherical bearings that provide a connection allowing movement between the link, the oil tank clevis ears, and the mount bracket clevis ears. A stiffening element connects at least one of the mount bracket clevis ears to at least one of the oil tank clevis ears. The stiffening element is positioned on an outer side of the at least one of the mount bracket clevis ears and the oil tank clevis ears. The spherical bearings are positioned between the oil tank and mount bracket clevis ears.
