Cleveland Tank, a manufacturer of aftermarket diesel fuel tanks, has announced the expansion of its product line with the release of two new replacement tanks designed specifically for Thomas Built Bus school buses.

The newly introduced models are engineered to meet OEM specifications for a direct-fit solution, providing fleet operators and service departments with reliable and cost-effective alternatives to dealer-supplied tanks:

  • RS1560CC-54 – a 60-gallon capacity replacement tank for Saf-T-Liner C2 and HDX buses with OEM # A03-54358-001.

  • RS22100CC-56 – a 100-gallon capacity replacement tank for Saf-T-Liner C2, EFX, and HDX buses with OEM # 61272184.

“These new tank models reflect our continued commitment to serving the school transportation industry with premium aftermarket solutions that deliver value, durability and performance,” said Pat Donegan, sales manager. “Our in-house engineering and manufacturing teams work closely with customers to ensure every tank meets exacting standards for safety and fit.”

Both new models are in stock and available for immediate order through Cleveland Tank’s distribution network and direct sales team.

In May, the company also added a new model of diesel fuel tanks for IC Bus school buses: the RS1565CC-52 diesel fuel tank. This offering is also designed as a direct-fit, aftermarket replacement for international school buses with OEM # 3596529C94, providing fleet operators with a reliable and cost-effective solution to maintain their vehicles.

The RS1565CC-52 is constructed from heavy-duty mild-grade steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant black powder coat. It is DOT-certified and pressure-tested to guarantee leak-free performance. The tank includes the following features:
