Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner Century 112/120 Fuel Tank Covers-Bras

Will these fuel tank covers fit my specific Freightliner Century model year?

Our fuel tank covers are designed to fit Freightliner Century Class 112 and 120 models from 1996-2007. However, there are variations between early models (1996-2004) and later models (2005-2007) due to slight tank mounting differences. Please verify your tank diameter (typically 23" or 25") and mounting strap configuration before ordering. If you're unsure, contact us with your VIN and we'll help confirm the correct fitment.

What material are these tank covers made from, and how durable are they?

Most of our Freightliner Century fuel tank covers are constructed from either heavy-duty 16-gauge polished stainless steel or mirror-finish aluminum. The stainless steel options offer superior corrosion resistance and maintain their shine with minimal maintenance, while aluminum covers are lighter weight but may require more frequent polishing. Both materials are designed to withstand road debris, weather exposure, and regular washing without warping or losing their shape.

How difficult is the installation process, and what tools do I need?

Installation typically takes 30-45 minutes per tank and requires basic hand tools including a socket set, screwdrivers, and possibly a drill for certain mounting styles. Most covers use existing tank strap mounting points and come with stainless steel clamps or brackets. The main challenge reported by customers is accessing tight spaces around the tank straps. We recommend having the truck on level ground and using jack stands if needed for better access. Detailed instructions are included with each cover.

Do these covers affect fuel tank ventilation or cause any overheating issues?

No, our fuel tank covers are specifically designed with proper ventilation in mind. They feature strategic gaps and spacing that allow adequate airflow around the tank while still providing protection and aesthetic enhancement. The covers do not make direct contact with the tank surface, maintaining a small air gap that prevents heat buildup and ensures your fuel system operates normally.

What's the difference between full wrap covers and half-moon style covers?

Full wrap covers provide 360-degree coverage around your fuel tank, offering maximum protection and a completely polished look from all angles. Half-moon covers protect and dress up only the visible outer portion of the tank, making them more budget-friendly and easier to install while still significantly improving appearance. Full wraps typically cost 40-60% more but are preferred by drivers who want complete coverage, especially for show trucks or when tanks are highly visible from multiple angles.
