International ProStar Air Tanks, Wraps & Mounting

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

What is included in this category?

This category covers the components used to store and mount compressed air for your International ProStar's air brake and air-ride systems. That includes replacement air tanks, decorative and protective tank wraps (covers that fit over an existing tank), and the mounting hardware, brackets, and straps used to secure tanks to the frame. Each product is sold individually, so be sure to check the listing details to confirm whether a tank, wrap, or mounting kit is included.

Will these parts fit my ProStar?

Air tank sizing and mounting configurations can vary by model year and chassis setup, so we recommend checking your tank's current dimensions (length, diameter, and port locations) and comparing them to the listing specifications before ordering. If you're unsure, having your VIN or the OEM part number from your existing tank on hand will make it easier to confirm a correct match.

What materials and finishes are available for tank wraps?

Tank wraps are typically offered in stainless steel or aluminum, with finishes ranging from brushed to polished chrome. Beyond appearance, wraps also add a layer of protection against road debris and corrosion on the tank surface underneath. Keep in mind that a wrap is a cosmetic and protective cover, not a structural or pressure-rated component.

Do I need to remove the air tank to install a wrap or mounting bracket?

In most cases, yes. Tank wraps are designed to slide around or clamp onto the tank, so the tank generally needs to be loosened or removed from its mounts for a clean, properly aligned install. Mounting brackets and straps are bolted directly to the frame and tank, so basic hand tools and some familiarity with your truck's air system layout are helpful. If you're not comfortable working around pressurized air lines, having a qualified technician handle the install is a good idea.

Are these air tanks safe to use as direct replacements for my brake system?

Replacement air tanks are built to commonly used industry sizes and connection patterns, but air brake system components are subject to DOT and FMCSA regulations. It's the installer's responsibility to confirm that any replacement tank matches the pressure rating, port configuration, and capacity required for your truck's specific air system before putting it into service.
