Peterbilt 362 Air Tanks, Wraps & Mounting

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 362 Air Tanks, Wraps & Mounting

What is included in this category?

This category covers air tanks (also called air reservoirs) for the Peterbilt 362, along with the wraps and mounting hardware used to install and secure them, including mounting brackets, straps, and related hardware needed to properly fit a tank to the frame.

Will an air tank from this category fit my specific Peterbilt 362?

Fit can vary depending on the tank size, mounting configuration, and the model year or frame setup of your specific truck. Always check the listed dimensions, mounting hole spacing, and bracket style against your current tank and frame before ordering to confirm a proper fit.

What are air tank wraps used for?

Air tank wraps are protective sleeves or covers that fit around the tank to guard against road debris, corrosion, and general wear. They also give the tank a cleaner, more finished appearance and can help extend the service life of the tank by reducing exposure to moisture and abrasion.

What material and finish options are available?

Air tanks are typically constructed from steel or aluminum, with aluminum offering a lighter weight and natural corrosion resistance, while steel tanks are often coated or painted for added protection. Wraps are commonly available in polished aluminum or stainless steel finishes to match other polished components on the truck.

What do I need to know before installing a new air tank or mounting hardware?

Before installation, make sure the tank is fully drained and disconnected from the air system, and confirm that mounting brackets and hardware match the tank diameter and bolt pattern. Since air tanks are part of the truck's air brake system, any installation should be done carefully and checked for leaks and secure mounting before the truck is put back into service. If you are unsure about compatibility or proper procedure, consult a qualified technician.
