Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 567/579 Fuel Tank Covers & Bras

What are fuel tank covers and bras used for on a Peterbilt 567/579?

Fuel tank covers and bras are designed to fit over the fuel tanks on your Peterbilt 567 or 579 to protect the tank surface from road debris, rock chips, scratches, and general wear. They also give drivers an easy way to dress up the look of their truck with different finishes and styles.

Will these covers fit my specific tank size and configuration?

Fuel tank covers and bras are typically made to match specific tank diameters and lengths, so it is important to measure your tank before ordering. Check the product listing for the tank sizes it is designed to fit, and compare that to your truck's actual tank dimensions to make sure you get the correct fit for your 567 or 579.

What materials and finishes are available?

These covers are commonly offered in materials like stainless steel or heavy duty vinyl/fabric bras, depending on the style you choose. Stainless steel covers are often available in polished, brushed, or diamond plate finishes, while bras are typically offered in durable fabric designed to withstand outdoor exposure. Pick the option that best matches the look you want and the level of protection you need.

How difficult is it to install a fuel tank cover or bra?

Most fuel tank covers and bras are designed for straightforward installation using straps, bands, or fasteners that wrap around the existing tank, so no drilling or permanent modification is typically required. Basic hand tools are usually all that is needed, and most drivers are able to install them without a shop visit.

Will a fuel tank cover or bra interfere with fuel access or tank maintenance?

Quality covers and bras are designed with cutouts or removable sections so you can still access the fuel cap, sending unit, and drain points without having to fully remove the cover. That said, it is a good idea to check the product details or reach out to us before purchasing if you have a less common tank configuration, so you can confirm easy access to everything you need for routine maintenance.
