Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
I got the Transferflow tank today. Yes this is a bit out there, it is a big tank for a Megacab, but I like fuel! What can I say?
I started out contemplating the 50 gallon and the 75 gallon tanks. The 50 gallon was the obvious choice as it didnt cover any of the factory pucks for the 5th wheel and was designed to completely fit under a tonneau cover. I have a hard cover that I like so would like to keep it.
Well, I am not one for the obvious choice. I took some measurements and the 75 gallon was 1/4 inch lower than my bed rails however the filler neck stuck up another 3 3/4 inches. The two forward pucks of the factory hitch would be covered but luckily, I already had plans to not need those pucks anyway. I am replacing the air ride 5th wheel hitch with a goosebox hitch.
As far as my bed cover, I got to thinking...if I get the 50 gallon, it fits under the cover but the last section of the cover does not raise up. This would make it a pita to fill. I whipped out the tape measure, my bed cover is about 1 1/2 inches thick. Visions of a hole saw started forming in my head. With my rough math, I'm thinking I can cut a hole just big enough for the filler neck, the neck should be just long enough to poke through and be able to completely secure the fuel cap. A little sealant to keep the water from getting in and it should be gtg. Hmmm more fuel, easier fueling (and the 75 was $100 cheaper than the 50
) win win.
So anyway, only had about an hour and decided to unbox it and test fit. Using my rough math and making things work the way I want them too usually doesnt turn out as easy as it looks on paper (anyone else been there?). It actually is looking promising. Here are a few pictures of how it will sit in the bed (minus my straps for maneuvering
)
I will take more pics with the bed cover on (if it works out) when I get it done. Yes I will have a cap that looks like its sitting on my bed cover, I can deal with that. They sent a black one which will blend right with the cover so not noticeable to most, however I have a nice green aluminum cap that I may put on there. Wonder how many people will tell me I forgot to put my gas cap on?
