Aux fuel tanks

[LEEH]

In answer to Shelby, I have found that even driving around my home State (Oregon) that I can pay for the tank in one year with fuel price savings ($. 20 to $. 40 per gallon). When driving through mutiple states while on a trip pulling our RV we can skip several states if we do not care for the posted prices. We paid for our 67 gal Transfer Flow in one trip across the US in 96' with the fuel cost per gal savings. To my way of thinking this is the true value of having an Aux fuel tank.

As for hauling the extra 700 lbs around, that is not even relevent in the Cummins equipped Dodge Ram. I dare say that those of you that have a tool box installed have that much weight in equipment and tools laying in the bottom of the box that haven't been used since they were put in the box.

Additionally, I have never noticed a difference in the fuel mileage I achieve with or without fuel in the Aux tank.

Wouldn't be without the Aux fuel tank.

To Rich (Davison) who wanted to know a good biocide. Available anywhere fishboats live but if you live in a fishboat free zone, try ordering from Fisheries Supply Co in Seattle. 1-800-426-6930. Racor is sorta the gold standard for filters & biocide. 16 oz treats 1920 gallons for about $14. If you need more try their 55 gal drum. It will treat 844,000 gallons, more or less.

I think larger tanks are a really great feature and there are times I would like to have one, but for me, I ended up with an answer similar to Shelby's. Most of the time I'm happy with my 35 gallons. If I towed more, or had the extra load capacity of a dually, I'd get the tank. My game plan is to continue with the OEM tank, but if I ever poke a hole in it or have problems, I'll replace it with about a 55 gallon tank instead of spending money with DC. DC should have equiped us with a 40 to 50 gallon tank from the get-go - or offered that as an option. It would be a great way for DC to make money - they could charge $150 for something that only cost them $50 more, and we'd stand in line to pay it!
