Frequently Asked Questions About Volvo WIA Fuel Tank Covers & Bras
Will these fuel tank covers fit my specific Volvo WIA model year?
Our Volvo WIA fuel tank covers are designed to fit most WIA models from 1988 through 2003. However, tank sizes can vary between 60-gallon, 80-gallon, and 100-gallon configurations. Before ordering, measure your tank diameter and height, or check your truck's spec sheet for the exact tank size. If you're unsure about fitment, contact our customer service team with your VIN number and we'll help verify compatibility.
What's the difference between aluminum and stainless steel fuel tank covers?
Aluminum covers are lightweight (typically 15-20 lbs per set), cost-effective, and resist corrosion well, but may show scratches more easily and require regular polishing to maintain shine. Stainless steel covers are heavier (25-35 lbs per set), more durable against road debris, and maintain their finish longer with minimal maintenance. Stainless steel typically costs 30-40% more but offers superior longevity, especially in harsh weather conditions or high-mileage applications.
How difficult is the installation process, and what tools do I need?
Installation typically takes 45-90 minutes per tank and requires basic hand tools: a socket set, screwdrivers, and possibly a drill for some mounting brackets. Most covers use existing mounting points or strap systems that wrap around the tank. The main challenges customers report are working in tight spaces between the tank and frame rail, and ensuring proper alignment before final tightening. We recommend having a helper to hold the cover in position during installation.
Do fuel tank covers affect fuel temperature or cause any operational issues?
Properly designed fuel tank covers should not cause operational problems. Our covers maintain adequate ventilation space between the cover and tank to prevent heat buildup. In fact, polished aluminum and stainless covers can help reflect heat away from the tank. Ensure you don't overtighten mounting straps, which could restrict tank expansion. Always verify that fuel cap access, sight gauges, and vent lines remain unobstructed after installation.
How do I maintain the finish on my fuel tank covers?
For aluminum covers, use aluminum-specific polish every 2-3 months to prevent oxidation and maintain shine. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface. Stainless steel covers require less frequent maintenance - clean with mild soap and water, then apply stainless steel cleaner quarterly. For both materials, regular washing during routine truck maintenance prevents road salt and grime buildup that can cause pitting or staining over time.
