Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth W900B/W900L Fuel Tank Accessories

What's the difference between fuel tank straps for W900B and W900L models?

The main difference lies in the wheelbase and frame dimensions. W900B models typically have a shorter hood and different frame rail spacing, requiring straps with specific mounting hole patterns. W900L (Long Hood) models need longer straps with different bracket configurations. Always verify your truck's model year and wheelbase before ordering, as strap lengths can vary from 26 inches to 36 inches depending on your tank size and configuration.

Will these fuel tank accessories fit my 1987-2010 W900 model?

Most fuel tank accessories are compatible across 1987-2010 W900B/L models, but there are important exceptions. Pre-1994 models often have different mounting bracket styles and tank step configurations. Models from 2007-2010 may have updated EPA-compliant tank designs requiring specific hardware. Check your VIN and confirm whether you have round or D-style tanks, as this affects bracket compatibility and strap selection.

What tools and hardware do I need to install fuel tank straps and brackets?

Installation typically requires a 3/4" and 9/16" socket set, torque wrench (torque to 45-50 ft-lbs for strap bolts), and potentially a floor jack to support the tank. Most strap kits include mounting bolts, but you may need additional grade 8 hardware if replacing corroded fasteners. Budget 2-3 hours for installation per tank. Some installations require dropping the tank partially, so having a helper is strongly recommended for safety.

What material and finish options provide the best corrosion resistance?

Stainless steel straps and brackets offer superior longevity, especially in salt belt states, lasting 10-15 years versus 5-7 years for chrome-plated steel. Polished aluminum accessories provide good corrosion resistance at a lower price point but may show water spots. E-coated or powder-coated steel options are budget-friendly but best suited for dry climates. For maximum durability in harsh conditions, choose 304-grade stainless steel with polished or brushed finish.

Can I use these accessories with aftermarket aluminum fuel tanks?

Yes, but verify dimensions carefully. Aftermarket aluminum tanks often have different mounting tab locations compared to OEM steel tanks. Most universal straps adjust from 24" to 36" to accommodate various tank diameters. However, step brackets and anti-siphon devices may require modification or specific models designed for aluminum tanks. Measure your tank diameter and mounting point spacing before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
