Frequently Asked Questions About International LoneStar Fuel Tank Covers & Bras

Will these fuel tank covers fit my specific year and model International LoneStar?

Our fuel tank covers are designed to fit International LoneStar models from 2009 to present. However, fitment can vary based on your specific tank configuration (120-gallon, 150-gallon, or dual tank setups). We recommend checking your tank dimensions before ordering. If you're unsure, contact our support team with your VIN number and tank measurements for verification.

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

Most of our International LoneStar fuel tank covers are manufactured from either 304 stainless steel (14-16 gauge) or heavy-duty ABS plastic with chrome plating. Stainless steel options offer superior corrosion resistance and longevity, typically lasting 10+ years with proper care. ABS plastic covers are lighter weight and more affordable but may show wear after 3-5 years of heavy use. Both materials are designed to withstand road debris, weather, and regular washing.

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

Installation typically takes 1-2 hours per tank and requires basic hand tools including a socket set, drill with metal bits, and measuring tape. Most covers use existing mounting points, but some models may require drilling 2-4 new holes. The biggest challenge drivers report is achieving proper alignment, especially on trucks with aftermarket steps or accessories. We include detailed instructions with each purchase, and installation hardware is provided with most models.

What styles and finishes are available for LoneStar fuel tank covers?

We offer several styles including full-wrap covers, half-moon designs, and strap-style bras. Finish options include mirror-polished stainless steel, brushed stainless, chrome-plated ABS, and powder-coated options in black or custom colors. Full-wrap styles provide maximum coverage and protection, while half-moon designs offer a classic look with easier access for maintenance. Consider your truck's existing chrome package when selecting a finish for the most cohesive appearance.

Will fuel tank covers affect my fuel gauge readings or access to the fuel cap?

Properly installed fuel tank covers will not interfere with fuel gauge sensors or readings. All our covers are designed with precise cutouts for fuel caps, allowing normal access for refueling. Some full-coverage models include hinged or removable panels for cap access. However, covers may limit visual inspection of the tank itself, so we recommend checking for any existing damage or leaks before installation.
