Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T600 Fuel Tank Accessories

What size fuel tanks fit the Kenworth T600, and are there differences between model years?

The Kenworth T600 typically accommodates 100-150 gallon aluminum or steel fuel tanks, with dual tank setups being common. Models from 1985-2007 generally use the same mounting brackets and dimensions, though 2001-2007 models may have slightly different strap configurations. Always verify your specific truck's measurements before ordering, as custom configurations were available from the factory.

Do I need special tools or professional installation for fuel tank straps and brackets?

Basic fuel tank strap replacement requires standard hand tools including socket sets, wrenches, and a jack to support the tank during installation. Most experienced DIY mechanics can complete the job in 2-3 hours. However, if you're replacing tank mounting brackets or dealing with rusted hardware, professional installation is recommended for safety. Always drain the fuel tank completely before beginning any work.

What's the difference between polished aluminum and steel fuel tank accessories?

Polished aluminum accessories offer superior corrosion resistance and maintain their appearance longer with minimal maintenance, though they cost 20-30% more than steel options. Steel accessories are more budget-friendly and equally durable when properly maintained, but require regular cleaning and may need re-chroming after 5-7 years of heavy use. Both materials meet DOT standards for strength and safety.

Are aftermarket fuel tank steps and straps as durable as OEM parts?

Quality aftermarket fuel tank steps and straps from reputable manufacturers often match or exceed OEM specifications. Look for parts that are DOT certified and made from 304 stainless steel or 6061 aluminum. Many aftermarket options actually offer improvements over OEM, such as reinforced mounting points or anti-slip surfaces on steps. Check product reviews and warranty coverage to ensure you're getting commercial-grade components.

How do I know if my fuel tank accessories are compatible with auxiliary tanks or custom setups?

Measure your current tank diameter and mounting bracket spacing before ordering. Standard T600 accessories fit tanks with 24-26 inch diameters, but custom or auxiliary tanks may require universal-fit straps or adjustable brackets. For trucks with hydraulic tanks or DEF tanks mounted near the fuel tanks, verify clearance requirements. When in doubt, contact our support team with your VIN and current tank configuration for specific recommendations.
