Kenworth W900A Fuel Tank Brackets & Straps

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth W900A Fuel Tank Brackets & Straps

Will these fuel tank brackets and straps fit my Kenworth W900A?

Fuel tank brackets and straps are typically designed to match specific tank diameters and mounting configurations, so fitment can vary depending on the tank size on your W900A and the model year of your truck. Always check the listed tank diameter and mounting specifications against your existing setup before ordering, and reach out to our team if you are unsure which option matches your rig.

What material are these brackets and straps made from, and will they hold up over time?

Most fuel tank brackets and straps are constructed from steel, often with a protective finish such as powder coating, paint, or galvanization to help resist rust and corrosion from road exposure. The right finish for your truck will depend on your operating environment, so consider factors like climate and road conditions when choosing a product.

Can I install these brackets and straps myself, or do I need a professional?

Many drivers and shop technicians replace fuel tank brackets and straps themselves, since the job generally involves supporting the tank, removing the worn hardware, and securing the new brackets and straps in place. However, because the fuel tank is heavy and properly securing it is critical for safe operation, use appropriate lifting support and torque the mounting hardware to the fastener manufacturer's specifications. If you are not confident in your ability to safely support and secure the tank, having a qualified technician handle the installation is a good option.

How do I know if my current brackets or straps need to be replaced?

Common signs that it is time to replace fuel tank brackets or straps include visible rust or corrosion, cracks or bends in the metal, a fuel tank that shifts or rattles while driving, and worn or stripped mounting hardware. Regularly inspecting these components during routine maintenance can help you catch wear before it becomes a bigger issue.

Do these brackets and straps come with the mounting hardware included?

Hardware inclusion varies by product and manufacturer, so check the individual product listing to see whether bolts, nuts, or other mounting hardware are included. If hardware is not included or you want to upgrade to higher grade fasteners, we recommend matching the size and grade of the original equipment for a secure fit.
