International LoneStar Fuel Tank Covers & Bras

Frequently Asked Questions About International LoneStar Fuel Tank Covers & Bras

What are fuel tank covers and bras used for on the International LoneStar?

Fuel tank covers and bras are designed to fit over the exterior of the fuel tank to protect the tank surface from road debris, rock chips, scratches, and general wear. They also give the truck a customized look, and many owners use them to cover up dents or dings on an existing tank without having to replace it.

Will a fuel tank cover fit my LoneStar's specific tank size?

Fuel tank covers are typically made to match specific tank diameters and lengths, so it is important to know your tank's measurements and gallon capacity before ordering. International LoneStars have been built with different tank sizes over the years, so double check the fitment details listed on each product page or reach out to our team to confirm the cover will match your tank before purchasing.

What materials are these covers and bras made from, and how do they hold up?

Most fuel tank covers and bras are made from durable materials like stainless steel or heavy-duty vinyl and fabric, depending on the style. Stainless covers offer a long-lasting, low-maintenance option that resists corrosion, while bras made from vinyl or textured material provide a snug fit and added protection against chips and scratches while still allowing some flexibility for installation.

How difficult is it to install a fuel tank cover or bra?

Installation difficulty varies by product type. Bras generally wrap around the tank and secure with straps, snaps, or fasteners, making them a straightforward install that most owners can handle themselves with basic tools. Hard covers, such as stainless steel wraps, may require more time and occasionally drilling or mounting hardware, so it is worth reviewing the included instructions or asking about installation specifics before you buy.

Can I still access the fuel cap, gauge, and drain valve with a cover or bra installed?

Quality fuel tank covers and bras are designed with cutouts or flaps that allow access to essential components like the fuel cap, sight gauge, and drain valve without having to remove the entire cover. When shopping, check the product description or images to confirm the cutout placement matches your tank's configuration so you are not left struggling to fuel up or check levels after installation.
