Aero tank or Transfer Tanks?

[geusterman]

Anybody have any negatives on either provider? Aero's are cheaper and 60 gallon. geusterman

The quality of the Transfer Flow is much better and worth every penny. You can get 56+ gallons in a Transfer Flow.

BPINE, I am sure you speak from experience and wondered if you would elaborate a little. TIA, George

Aero is cheaper. I had a behind the axle tank from aero. After the butchering that was done, it went into the trash and a TF was put in its place. TF does thier homework and delivers a top quality product. You pay for what you get. If you go cheap, expect to do your own homework on the proper way to install.

I have 2 Transfer Flows in my 97, one in the 2004. 'Nuff said.

My experience with Aero was horrible. They were hard to deal with when placing the order, but I didn't catch the hint until later. The tank was full of weld residue, required significant additional engineering to fit, then I couldn't get fuel suction from the tank. The application was not a Dodge, but they aren't getting any more of my money.

I bought the 65 gallon Aero stock tank replacement. Prior to purchase I called the company and spoke to the Shop Supervisor, Ed. I asked if there were any fit-up techniques I should be aware of and he said, "No, just fit her up. "



The tank was a was a bad fit and I had to grind a couple of notches in the frame and fabricate a tool to hold the bolts for installation. After spending an entire weekend on the installation I called Ed back and told him about the tool I had to make. "Yeah, we made a special bolt tool too... " Thanks for telling me now.



When I received the tank there was a lot of slag on top and grit inside. The fuel sending unit cap they sent was a cheap piece of cut sheet metal so I used the plastic OEM part. I wiped out all the crud I could reach by hand with a kero soaked rag.



Filled the tank up and it leaked copiously from two seams!!! When I called Aero, Ed told me to rub a bar of soap on the leaks. I'm embarrassed to admit I even tried that but I did. Didn't work.



I drove the truck to a local welding shop to see if I could get a proper repair done and the owner told me after crawling under my truck to look at the tank that "it looks like a 7-year old welded it... "



When I called Aero and said I wanted to send the tank back at first I got a run-around. No one there to authorize it I was told. After numerous calls over the next week I asked to speak to the owner and got reamed by an incredibly rude clerk. How Dare I, etc.



I waited a few days and asked to speak by name to the lady that took my order. She was very nice and said they she would refund the tank price if I paid the shipping. I did and they did. I think she was the only person in the whole company that gave a rat's a**.



Thanks for letting me vent on this subject. Slick ads, lousy product and service from Aero.
