Frequently Asked Questions About Western Star Heritage Air Tanks, Wraps- Mounting

What is included with an air tank wrap and mounting kit?

These kits typically include the decorative or protective wrap that covers the air tank along with the mounting hardware and brackets needed to secure it in place on your Western Star Heritage model. Some kits are sold as the wrap only, so be sure to check the product listing for exact contents before ordering.

Will this air tank wrap and mounting hardware fit my specific Western Star Heritage truck?

Air tank wraps and mounting components are generally designed to match the tank size and frame configuration used on Western Star Heritage series trucks, but tank placement and sizing can vary by model year and build spec. We recommend confirming the diameter and length of your existing air tank, along with your VIN or build sheet information, before purchasing to ensure proper fit.

What materials and finishes are available for the air tank wraps?

Air tank wraps are commonly available in stainless steel and aluminum, with finish options that may include polished, brushed, or diamond plate textures depending on the specific product. The finish you choose should generally match the rest of your truck's trim package for a consistent look.

How difficult is it to install an air tank wrap and mounting kit?

Installation difficulty depends on whether your air tank is already in place or being installed new. In most cases, the wrap is fitted around the existing tank and secured using the provided mounting straps or brackets, which can typically be done with common hand tools. If you are also mounting the tank itself, the job may require more time and possibly a second set of hands to support the tank during installation.

How do I clean and maintain a stainless steel or aluminum air tank wrap?

Regular washing with mild soap and water helps prevent road grime and brake dust buildup, which can dull the finish over time. For polished stainless or aluminum wraps, using a dedicated metal polish periodically will help maintain shine and resist surface staining, especially in areas exposed to road salt or harsh weather.
