According to some embodiments, a tank car comprises a tank shell with reinforcing bars extending longitudinally along a bottom of the tank shell. The tank car also comprises clips coupled to the reinforcing bars. A jacket standoff wraps around at least part of a lateral circumference of the tank shell. Each end of the jacket standoff is coupled to one of the clips. According to some embodiments, a clip for attaching a jacket standoff to a tank car comprises a first portion for coupling to a mounting surface of a tank shell; a middle portion shaped to generally conform to a contour of a side of the mounting surface; and a second portion, opposite the first portion, comprising a recessed portion to accept an end of the jacket standoff and positioned such that the second portion is located proximate to the tank shell but not attached to the tank shell.
