Frequently Asked Questions About Other Makes Truck Models Fuel Tanks
Will these fuel tanks fit my specific truck model and year?
Our fuel tanks are designed for various non-big-three truck brands including Hino, Isuzu, UD, and Mitsubishi Fuso. Each product listing includes specific model years and chassis configurations. Before ordering, check the product description for your exact model number and year range. If you're unsure about compatibility, contact our support team with your VIN number and we'll verify the correct tank for your application.
What material are these fuel tanks made from, and how long do they typically last?
Most aftermarket fuel tanks for other truck makes are constructed from either high-grade aluminum or aluminized steel. Aluminum tanks offer excellent corrosion resistance and typically last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. Steel tanks feature specialized coatings to prevent rust and generally provide 10-15 years of service. The product description will specify the exact material and gauge thickness for each tank.
Can I install these fuel tanks myself, or do I need professional help?
While experienced mechanics can install these tanks, we recommend professional installation due to fuel system safety requirements. Installation typically requires 2-4 hours and involves disconnecting fuel lines, removing mounting straps, and properly securing the new tank. You'll need basic hand tools, a floor jack, and safety equipment. Always follow local regulations regarding fuel system work and dispose of old fuel properly.
What capacity options are available, and how do I choose the right size?
Fuel tank capacities for other truck makes typically range from 25 to 100 gallons, depending on your chassis configuration. Stock replacement tanks match OEM capacity, while auxiliary or larger replacement options can extend your range. Consider your typical routes, payload requirements, and mounting space when selecting capacity. Remember that larger tanks add weight and may affect payload calculations.
Do these fuel tanks come with mounting hardware and sending units?
Most replacement fuel tanks include new mounting straps and hardware, but sending units are typically sold separately unless specified. Check each product listing for included components. We recommend replacing the sending unit when installing a new tank to ensure accurate fuel gauge readings. Some tanks may require reusing your original sending unit, which should be inspected for wear before reinstallation.
