By far not the best solution but I actually held mine up with galvanized bailing wire. I Took the plastic wrap / sleave from the existing strap, wrapped 2 wires into the edges of the wrap/sleave, held in place with heavy duty duct tape & then attached to what was left of the existing hangers. Put a jack with a piece of plywood under the tank and carefully lft it up so you can get the wires as tight as possible. Held on for over a year until I could find the hangers. Mile High auto body in Colorado was kind enough to find the hangers for me. Most of the time the cars go to the crusher with the hardware attached so very hard to find. Good luck.
