Peterbilt 389 Glider Fuel Tank Brackets & Straps

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 389 Glider Fuel Tank Brackets & Straps

Will these brackets and straps fit my Peterbilt 389 glider kit fuel tanks?

These brackets and straps are designed to fit the fuel tank configurations used on Peterbilt 389 glider kits. Because tank diameter, mounting style, and frame spacing can vary depending on the specific glider build and tank supplier, it's important to check the tank size and mounting dimensions listed on each product page against your truck before ordering. If you're unsure, our team can help confirm fit based on your tank specs.

What material are the brackets and straps made from, and how well do they hold up over time?

Most brackets are made from steel or aluminum, while straps are typically steel or a coated steel material designed to resist rust and wear from road exposure. Painted, polished, and raw finish options are available on many parts, so you can match the look of your rig while still getting a durable, functional mounting solution.

How do I know what size bracket or strap I need for my fuel tank?

Fuel tank brackets and straps are sized to match the diameter of your fuel tank, commonly ranging from 23 to 30 gallon and larger tank sizes. Measure your tank's outer diameter and compare it to the sizing listed in the product description before purchasing. Ordering the wrong size can result in a loose fit or improper support, so double-checking measurements up front saves time and hassle.

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

Many truck owners and shops install fuel tank brackets and straps themselves using basic hand tools, since the process generally involves bolting the brackets to the frame and securing the tank with the straps. That said, proper torque and alignment matter for safety and long-term durability, so if you're not confident in the install, having a qualified technician handle it is a good option.

Are these brackets and straps strong enough for daily use and rough roads?

Fuel tank brackets and straps sold in this category are built to support the weight of a full fuel tank under normal highway and vocational driving conditions. As with any mounting hardware, regular inspection for wear, rust, or loosening is recommended, especially on trucks that see heavy vibration or off-road use, to keep the tank securely in place over time.
