Freightliner FLC120 Fuel Tank Covers & Bras

Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner FLC120 Fuel Tank Covers & Bras

What exactly are fuel tank covers and bras, and what do they do?

Fuel tank covers and bras are protective and decorative panels that fit over the fuel tanks on your Freightliner FLC120. They shield the tank surface from road debris, rust, and general wear while also giving the truck a cleaner, more polished appearance. Many drivers add them to protect the factory finish or to update the look of an older tank.

Will these covers fit my specific fuel tank size and shape?

Fuel tank covers are typically made to match specific tank diameters and lengths, so it is important to measure your existing tank or check your truck's specifications before ordering. Since the FLC120 was produced with different tank configurations over its production run, double check the listed dimensions on each product page against your own tank to ensure a proper fit.

What materials are these covers available in, and how do they hold up?

These covers are commonly available in stainless steel and aluminum, with finish options ranging from polished and brushed to diamond plate textures. Stainless steel tends to offer better long-term corrosion resistance, while aluminum is lighter weight. The right choice depends on how much wear and exposure your truck sees on the road versus your budget and preferred look.

How are fuel tank covers installed, and can I do it myself?

Most fuel tank covers are designed to install using existing mounting points or simple strap and bracket systems, making them a manageable job for most drivers with basic tools. That said, some fitment adjustments may be needed depending on your tank's accessories, such as fuel gauges, straps, or fill necks, so it helps to review the included instructions or reach out to us if you run into fitment questions.

Will a fuel tank cover interfere with fuel gauges, straps, or fill caps?

Quality fuel tank covers are designed with cutouts or clearance for common tank features like fuel gauges, fill caps, and mounting straps. However, because tank accessories can vary by year and configuration, it is a good idea to compare the cover's cutout layout to your tank setup before purchasing to avoid any interference issues during installation.
