Freightliner FLC120 Air Tanks, Wraps & Mounting

Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner FLC120 Air Tanks, Wraps & Mounting

Will these air tanks and mounting brackets fit my Freightliner FLC120 without modification?

These air tanks, wraps, and mounting components are designed to match the factory dimensions and mounting patterns used on the Freightliner FLC120. However, tank placement and bracket configurations can vary slightly depending on the model year and chassis setup, so it's a good idea to compare the measurements listed on the product page against your existing tank or bracket before ordering.

What materials are the air tanks and wraps made from, and how durable are they?

Air tanks are typically constructed from steel or aluminum depending on the specific product, while wraps are usually made from stainless steel or aluminum designed to resist road grime, moisture, and general wear. The wraps are meant to protect the tank surface and improve appearance, but they are not a substitute for proper tank maintenance and inspection.

Do the tank wraps affect airflow, drainage, or access to fittings and drain valves?

Quality wraps are designed with cutouts or openings that allow continued access to drain valves, fittings, and mounting hardware. Before installing, check the wrap's design to confirm it lines up with the ports and valves on your specific tank so you don't lose functional access after installation.

How difficult is it to install these tanks, wraps, and mounting hardware myself?

Wraps generally install with basic hand tools and hardware such as clamps or screws, making them a straightforward DIY project for most truck owners. Installing a replacement air tank or mounting bracket involves more work, including disconnecting air lines and supporting the tank's weight during removal and installation, so having a second person or a lift can make the job easier and safer.

Can I use aftermarket air tanks and mounting hardware and still stay within DOT compliance?

Aftermarket air tanks and mounting hardware are built to function as replacements for OEM components, but it's the installer's responsibility to ensure the tank is properly secured, free of leaks, and that the air system passes inspection after installation. If you have questions about a specific tank's capacity or rating for your application, check the specifications listed with the product or consult with our team before purchasing.
