Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner SD 108-122 Fuel Tank Accessories

What specific Freightliner models and years are compatible with these fuel tank accessories?

These fuel tank accessories are designed specifically for Freightliner SD models (Set-Forward axle) including the 108SD, 114SD, and 122SD trucks manufactured from 2012 to present. The mounting brackets and dimensions are engineered to match the factory fuel tank configurations on these models. Always verify your truck's exact model year and axle configuration before ordering, as Set-Back axle models may have different mounting requirements.

Are the fuel tank straps and brackets made from stainless steel or regular steel?

Most fuel tank straps and mounting brackets in this category are available in both polished stainless steel and powder-coated steel options. Stainless steel components offer superior corrosion resistance and maintain their appearance longer, especially in harsh weather conditions or areas with road salt. Powder-coated steel options provide good protection at a lower price point but may require more maintenance over time. Product descriptions specify the material for each item.

How difficult is it to install fuel tank steps and do they require drilling?

Fuel tank steps for SD 108-122 models typically bolt directly to existing mounting points on the fuel tank brackets, requiring no drilling in most cases. Installation generally takes 30-45 minutes per side with basic hand tools. The steps come with grade 8 hardware and detailed instructions. However, some aftermarket tank configurations may require minor modifications. We recommend having a second person assist with alignment during installation.

What's the difference between 25-inch and 26-inch diameter fuel tank accessories?

The diameter refers to the fuel tank size your truck uses. Freightliner SD models commonly come with either 25-inch or 26-inch diameter aluminum fuel tanks. Straps, brackets, and guards must match your tank diameter for proper fit. You can verify your tank size by checking the manufacturer's label on the tank or measuring the diameter at the widest point. Using the wrong size will result in poor fitment and potential safety issues.

Do chrome fuel tank covers affect fuel temperature or cause any performance issues?

Quality chrome or polished stainless fuel tank covers are designed with proper ventilation and clearance to prevent heat buildup. They should not affect fuel temperature or cause performance issues when correctly installed with the recommended spacing from the tank surface. These covers actually help protect the tank from road debris and UV damage. Ensure you maintain the manufacturer's specified air gap (typically 1/2 to 3/4 inch) between the cover and tank for proper airflow.
