What To Know About Replacing
A Stainless, Aluminum Or Steel Fuel Tank
Just because they’re heavy duty truck fuel tanks it doesn’t mean they last forever. So it’s important to replace your aluminum or steel fuel tank with a good quality tank that will last as long as your truck.
Finding a fuel tank for trucks may seem pretty simple but there are pitfalls you should avoid to save time, money and frustration. There are many substandard fuel tanks for trucks for sale on the market. Some diesel truck tank manufacturers will cut corners in ways you won’t realize until it’s too late. Here’s what you need to know:
Heavy duty truck fuel tanks are usually made of steel or aluminum. Manufacturers can cut costs at your expense by building them with thin metal. Every diesel truck tank we build is made with metal thickness that is equal to or greater than that used by the original manufacturer. You’ll receive a tank as good as or better than the one you took out. Metal thickness is just a small part of it.
Heavy duty truck fuel tanks require perfect welds to ensure they don’t leak. Yes – we have actually heard reports of people receiving new tanks that leak at the welds. Some manufacturers skip the leak test or only check random samples to save time. We ensure the integrity of our welds by pressure testing every tank we build. We think it’s time well spent. For longer life we powder coat our tanks. Our powder coating process has been refined over the years and our experts know how to prep steel tanks and apply the powder so it goes on and stays on.
