Kenworth Cabover Fuel Tank Covers & Bras

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth Cabover Fuel Tank Covers & Bras

What are fuel tank covers and bras used for?

Fuel tank covers, also called fuel tank bras, are protective and decorative shells that fit over the fuel tank(s) on your Kenworth cabover. They shield the tank surface from road debris, rust, and general wear while also giving the truck a cleaner, more finished appearance. Many drivers use them to protect polished or painted tanks from scratches and pitting caused by highway grime.

Will a fuel tank cover fit my specific Kenworth cabover model and tank size?

Fit depends on your Kenworth cabover model and the diameter and length of your fuel tank, since tank sizes vary across cabover configurations. Before ordering, measure your tank's diameter and length and compare those measurements to the specifications listed on the product page. If you are unsure, our customer service team can help confirm the correct fit for your truck.

What materials are these covers made from, and which is the best choice?

Fuel tank covers are commonly available in materials like diamond plate aluminum, stainless steel, and heavy-duty vinyl or fabric bras. Aluminum and stainless steel options offer a durable, polished look and strong resistance to dents and corrosion, while vinyl or fabric bras are lighter weight and often more budget-friendly. The best choice depends on your priorities for durability, appearance, and cost.

How do I install a fuel tank cover, and can I do it myself?

Most fuel tank covers and bras are designed for straightforward installation using straps, clips, or bolt-on hardware, and many drivers install them without professional help. Installation typically involves securing the cover around the tank and fastening it in place, but the exact steps vary by product, so it's important to review the included instructions or product listing before starting.

How do I clean and maintain a fuel tank cover to keep it looking good?

Metal covers like aluminum or stainless steel can generally be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution, followed by a polish designed for that specific metal to maintain shine and prevent oxidation. Fabric or vinyl bras should be spot cleaned as needed and inspected periodically for wear at the strap or fastening points. Regular cleaning helps prevent buildup of road salt and grime that can lead to long-term surface damage.
