Kenworth T880 Fuel Tank Covers & Bras

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T880 Fuel Tank Covers & Bras

What is the purpose of a fuel tank cover or bra?

Fuel tank covers and bras are protective and decorative accessories that fit over your Kenworth T880's fuel tank to shield it from road debris, rust, corrosion, and general wear while also giving your truck a custom, finished appearance. Many drivers also use them to help disguise dents, scratches, or aging tanks.

Will a fuel tank cover fit my specific tank size and configuration?

Fit depends on your fuel tank's diameter and length, which can vary based on how your T880 was originally spec'd. Before ordering, measure your tank's diameter and length and compare those measurements to the product listing specifications to ensure proper fit.

What materials are these covers and bras made from, and how do they hold up?

Fuel tank covers and bras are commonly made from stainless steel, aluminum, or heavy-duty vinyl/fabric material depending on the style. Stainless and aluminum covers offer long-term durability and a polished or diamond-plate look, while bras made from textile materials are typically more flexible and easier to install or remove but may show wear sooner in harsh conditions.

How are fuel tank covers or bras installed, and can I do it myself?

Most fuel tank covers are installed using stainless steel straps, clamps, or fasteners that wrap around the existing tank, while bras typically secure with straps, snaps, or hook-and-loop closures. Installation is generally straightforward and can be done at home with basic tools, though the exact process varies by product, so it's a good idea to review the included instructions before starting.

Will adding a fuel tank cover interfere with fuel access, sending units, or drain plugs?

Quality fuel tank covers and bras are designed with cutouts or flexible openings for fuel caps, sending units, and drain plugs so you can still access these components without removing the entire cover. Always check product details or contact us if you're unsure whether a specific cover accommodates your tank's fittings.
