Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T2000 Fuel Tank Covers & Bras

Will these fuel tank covers fit my specific year Kenworth T2000?

Our fuel tank covers are designed to fit Kenworth T2000 models from 1996 to 2010. However, tank sizes can vary between 100-gallon and 150-gallon configurations. Before ordering, measure your tank diameter (typically 23" or 26") and verify whether you have a standard or extended cab model, as mounting brackets may differ slightly between configurations.

What material options are available and which holds up best against road salt and weather?

We offer fuel tank covers in polished stainless steel, chrome-plated steel, and heavy-duty vinyl. Stainless steel provides the best long-term durability against corrosion and road chemicals, requiring minimal maintenance. Chrome offers a mirror finish but needs regular cleaning to prevent pitting. Vinyl covers are the most economical and protect against rock chips, though they typically need replacement every 2-3 years depending on driving conditions.

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

Installation typically takes 30-45 minutes per tank. You'll need basic hand tools including a socket set, screwdrivers, and possibly a drill for certain mounting styles. Most covers use existing mounting points or adjustable straps. The main challenge is accessing the back side of the tank - having the truck on level ground with adequate clearance underneath makes installation much easier. No welding or permanent modifications are required.

Do these covers interfere with fuel cap access or tank straps?

Quality fuel tank covers are designed with cutouts for fuel cap access and work around existing tank straps. Full-wrap covers include hinged or removable panels for fueling. Half-moon style covers leave the top portion of the tank exposed for easy access. Always verify your specific fuel cap location and strap configuration before ordering, as aftermarket tanks may have different layouts than OEM.

What's the difference between full-wrap and half-moon style covers?

Full-wrap covers provide complete 360-degree protection and a uniform appearance but cost more and require access panels for fueling. Half-moon covers protect the visible front portion of the tank (typically 180-270 degrees), are easier to install and remove for maintenance, and cost less. Half-moon styles are popular for drivers who frequently inspect their tanks or need regular access to tank-mounted components.
