A protective device is supported on a cylindrical fuel tank of a highway truck tractor. The protective device includes i) a side wall member in the form of a flexible sheet for extending partway about a circumference of the fuel tank and partway along a length of the fuel tank, and ii) a pair of end caps for covering opposing ends of the fuel tank. Each end cap includes a circular end portion for spanning an end face of the fuel tank and a side wall portion for extending at least partway about a circumference of a cylindrical side wall of the fuel tank. The side wall portions of the two end caps abut opposing ends of the side wall member at a location corresponding to the location of mounting straps which support the tank on the truck tractor such that the seams are concealed by the mounting straps.
