Q: Does this filler kit work with other brands of water tanks?
A: The kit suits Tuff Terrain TT45WT, TT40FWT and TT42WT tanks. Other tanks may not share the same inlet size or style, which can affect sealing and fit. If your tank is not one of these part numbers, check the inlet diameter and filler requirements before purchase. Mixing brands without checking specs can lead to leaks or poor flow.
Q: Can I cut the 30 cm hose shorter if my tank is very close to the filler point?
A: Yes, the silicone hose can usually be trimmed. A clean, square cut with a suitable blade maintains a good sealing surface at the clamp area. Always measure twice before cutting to keep enough hose for proper alignment. After trimming, test fit the hose and clamps before final tightening.
Q: Is any sealant needed around the filler neck when mounting it through a panel?
A: Sealant may be required, depending on the panel material and shape. A non-hardening sealant around the neck flange can help stop dust and water tracking through the cut-out. The exact sealant type depends on your body material, such as aluminium or steel. Always follow the sealant manufacturer’s directions.
Q: Can this kit be used on both caravans and canopy setups?
A: Yes, as long as a compatible Tuff Terrain tank is installed. The filler neck can mount through a caravan wall, ute canopy or toolbox panel. The key requirement is access to the tank inlet and enough flat surface for the neck flange. The straight hose suits close tank-to-wall layouts commonly found in these builds.
