Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T600 Diesel Fuel Tanks

What size fuel tanks are available for my Kenworth T600, and how do I choose the right capacity?

Kenworth T600 fuel tanks typically range from 60 to 150 gallons per tank. Most T600 models can accommodate dual tank setups for extended range. To choose the right capacity, consider your typical route distances and weight restrictions. Long-haul drivers often prefer 100-120 gallon tanks for optimal balance between range and weight. Remember that diesel weighs approximately 7 pounds per gallon, so larger tanks will impact your payload capacity.

Will these fuel tanks fit my specific year Kenworth T600?

Most aftermarket fuel tanks are designed to fit Kenworth T600 models from 1990 to 2007. However, there are important mounting differences between early models (1990-1999) and later models (2000-2007). Early models use a 3-strap mounting system, while later models typically use a 4-strap system. Always verify your truck's VIN and model year before ordering, as some mid-year production changes may affect compatibility.

Are these tanks made of aluminum or steel, and which material is better?

Both aluminum and steel tanks are available. Aluminum tanks are lighter (reducing overall vehicle weight by 50-100 pounds per tank), resist corrosion better, and are ideal for weight-conscious operations. Steel tanks are more affordable, extremely durable against impacts, and easier to repair if damaged. Most owner-operators prefer aluminum for the weight savings and longevity, while fleet operators often choose steel for the lower initial cost.

What installation challenges should I expect when replacing my fuel tanks?

Tank replacement typically takes 3-5 hours per tank for experienced mechanics. Common challenges include: aligning new mounting straps with existing frame holes (some drilling may be required), transferring fuel sending units and draw tubes from old tanks, and ensuring proper clearance from exhaust components. You'll need basic hand tools, a tank jack or assistance for lifting, and new fuel line connections. Professional installation is recommended if you're not comfortable working with fuel systems.

Do these replacement tanks come with all necessary mounting hardware and connections?

Most replacement tanks include basic mounting straps and bolts, but typically do not include fuel sending units, draw tubes, fuel caps, or crossover lines. These components usually need to be transferred from your existing tanks or purchased separately. When ordering, verify what's included - complete kits with all hardware typically cost 20-30% more but save time and ensure compatibility. Always replace rubber fuel lines and check valves during installation for safety.
