Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 386 Fuel Tank Brackets & Straps

What years do these fuel tank brackets and straps fit on the Peterbilt 386?

Our fuel tank brackets and straps are designed to fit Peterbilt 386 models from 2005 to 2015. However, there can be variations based on fuel tank size and configuration. We recommend checking your specific tank dimensions or contacting our support team with your VIN to ensure proper fitment, especially if you have aftermarket tanks or custom modifications.

Are these brackets and straps made from stainless steel or regular steel?

We carry both stainless steel and powder-coated steel options. Stainless steel brackets offer superior corrosion resistance and are ideal for trucks operating in harsh weather conditions or areas with road salt. Powder-coated steel brackets provide good protection at a lower price point. Each product listing clearly specifies the material type, and we recommend stainless for maximum longevity.

Do I need special tools to install these fuel tank brackets and straps?

Installation typically requires basic hand tools including socket wrenches (usually 3/4" and 7/8"), a torque wrench, and potentially a floor jack to support the tank during replacement. Most installations take 1-2 hours per side. Some brackets may require drilling new mounting holes if you're upgrading from OEM to aftermarket. Always support the fuel tank properly during installation to prevent damage or injury.

How do I know if my fuel tank straps need replacement?

Check for visible rust, corrosion, cracks, or stretching in the metal. If you notice fuel tank movement, hear rattling sounds while driving, or see wear marks on your tank, replacement is necessary. DOT regulations require secure fuel tank mounting, so damaged straps can result in inspection failures. We recommend inspecting straps during regular maintenance and replacing them at the first sign of deterioration.

What's the weight capacity of these replacement straps compared to OEM?

Our replacement straps meet or exceed OEM specifications and are rated for standard Peterbilt 386 fuel tank capacities ranging from 50 to 150 gallons. Heavy-duty options are available for larger aftermarket tanks. Each product listing includes weight ratings. For dual tank setups or tanks over 120 gallons, we recommend our reinforced heavy-duty strap options for added safety margin.
