International LoneStar Air Tanks, Wraps & Mounting

Frequently Asked Questions About International LoneStar Air Tanks, Wraps & Mounting

What is the difference between an air tank and an air tank wrap?

The air tank itself is the functional component that stores compressed air for your truck's brake system, while an air tank wrap (or cover) is a decorative shell, typically made of stainless steel or chrome-plated material, that fits over the tank to dress up the exterior appearance. Wraps do not replace or affect the function of the tank, they simply cover it for a cleaner, more polished look.

Will these air tanks, wraps, and mounting parts fit my International LoneStar?

Products in this category are designed to fit the International LoneStar, but tank sizes, mounting locations, and bracket configurations can vary depending on the model year and chassis setup. Always check the listed specifications and measurements against your truck before ordering, and reach out to our team if you are unsure about fitment.

What materials and finishes are available for air tank wraps?

Air tank wraps are commonly offered in stainless steel or chrome-plated finishes. Stainless steel tends to hold up well over time with proper care, while chrome offers a brighter, mirror-like shine. Both finishes are meant to withstand exposure to road conditions, but regular cleaning will help maintain their appearance longer.

What is included with the mounting hardware, and is installation straightforward?

Mounting components typically include brackets, straps, and the fasteners needed to secure the air tank in place. Installation generally involves removing the old tank or wrap and securing the new component using the provided hardware, but exact steps can vary depending on the specific product and your truck's setup. If a product does not include mounting hardware, this will be noted in the listing, so double check before you order.

How do I keep my air tank wrap looking new?

Routine washing with a mild soap and water solution, followed by drying with a soft cloth, helps prevent buildup of road grime and reduces the chance of surface staining. For chrome finishes, using a dedicated chrome cleaner or polish periodically can help maintain shine. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or dull the finish over time.
