Alpen Outdoor Base Mount 2mm Thickness Aluminium Diesel Heater Fuel Tank Cover Left for 10L 15L Fuel Tank Black

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fuel tank cover fit my 15L diesel heater tank?

Yes, this Alpen Outdoor Base Mount Tank Cover is designed to fit both 10L and 15L diesel tanks commonly used in caravan diesel heaters. The overall dimensions are 49.5cm (L) x 15.9cm (W) x 42.3cm (H), so it'll provide robust protection for either tank size. Just make sure you're ordering the left-hand side version if that's what you need for your setup.

How do I install this on my caravan's rear bar?

Installation is straightforward. The cover comes with 2x M8 U-bolts (15cm length with 8cm thread length) that bolt directly to your caravan's tow bar or rear bar. The pre-drilled holes are spaced 6.6cm apart, so you'll just need to align it with your existing mounting points. If you need additional holes customised, you can easily drill them yourself or contact Yarra Supply for advice.

Can I still check my fuel level with this cover on?

Absolutely. The tank cover features a slotted section along its side that lets you easily monitor your diesel fuel level without removing the cover. This is handy on road trips so you can check your fuel status at a glance and plan your stops accordingly.

Is this cover rust-proof for Australian conditions?

Yes, it's made from 2mm thick aluminium with a checker plate finish, which is naturally corrosion and rust-resistant. This makes it ideal for Australian outdoor conditions, whether you're in coastal areas with salt spray or outback heat. The aluminium construction ensures long-term durability and minimal maintenance throughout your caravan adventures.

What's the delivery time and return policy if I order from Yarra Supply?

Yarra Supply offers Australia-wide free shipping on this product, so you won't pay extra for delivery no matter where you are. If you're not happy with your purchase, there's a 30-day returns policy, so you've got time to inspect the cover and make sure it suits your setup before the return window closes.

Does the plastic fuel tank come included with this cover?

No, the fuel tank itself is not included. This cover only protects an existing 10L or 15L diesel tank that you already have. The pack includes the aluminium tank cover and 2x M8 U-bolts for mounting—that's it. You'll need to source your own fuel tank separately.

Why choose this over a standard plastic tank cover?

This Alpen cover offers several advantages over basic plastic covers. The 2mm thick aluminium construction is far more durable and weather-resistant than plastic, it won't degrade in UV sunlight, and it provides better impact protection during travel. Plus, the slotted design lets you monitor fuel levels without removing it, and the professional checker plate finish looks great on modern caravans. It's built to last through years of Australian camping trips.
