Buyer Beware: Not All Replacement Fuel Tanks Are Built Equally
If you’re looking for a replacement fuel tank ask some important questions before you pull out your credit card. All replacement fuel tanks look similar on the Internet but manufacturers can cut corners in ways you’ll never know.
Original fuel tanks are usually made of thick, quality steel. Manufacturers can cut costs at your expense by using thinner materials. Every replacement fuel tank we build has metal thickness equal to or greater than that used by the original manufacturer. The fuel tank you buy from us will be as good as or better than the original.
Quality means more than just thick steel. It requires perfect welds and special techniques to prepare replacement fuel tanks prior to powder coating.
Our powder coating process has been refined over the years and our experts know how to prep the tank and apply the powder so it goes on and stays on. We pressure test every tank to ensure weld integrity.
What If It Doesn’t Fit?
Everything else could be perfect but if the tank doesn’t fit you’ll be spending extra to make it fit, if that’s even possible. We’ve heard horror stories about competitors’ fuel tanks that arrive with the filler neck at the wrong end or ports that don’t line up. Of all the replacement fuel tanks on the market, ours are the only ones that include a “Perfect Fit Guarantee”. If it doesn’t fit perfectly we’ll buy it back from you and pay the return shipping. We guarantee every replacement fuel tank we build and a lot of tanks.
At Propower we can build a standard or custom tank in your choice of material – steel, aluminum or stainless steel. Many of our customers invest in aluminum replacement fuel tanks to reduce weight. We often build tanks for trucks that are no longer supported by the manufacturer so you can prolong the life of your truck.

One last thing – be sure to check your straps and channel rubber. If they are worn or damaged remember to order them with your new replacement fuel tank.
