Auxiliary Fuel Tanks

[Archive]

What has been everyone's experience with an auxiliary fuel tank? I am considering a tank around 30-40 gallons. Any comments would be appreciated. I have an '01 Quad 2x2 sb.

Thanks Bill

I think you'll love it. Get a good one. I couldn't do without mine. I traded trucks last year on vacation. The dealer unhooked it from the 98 but could not hook it up in the 01. I sure did miss it till I got home and had it hooked up.

I am having one built to fit under my toolbox in the back,this will be aprox 50 gals and will also hold toolbox up so I can load it well,it will have a aluminm checker false front on it for looks ,this method was half price verses going all aluminm ,it is going to be 10 guage steel and I will put the fill neck inside my tool box, I am having a half inch coupling on the bottom corner so I can put a spin on filter under the truck,then I will run stainless tubing to the front under the cab so I can put a manual valve (handle sticking into cab floor) then I plan on running tubing back to my vapor line that drops into tank. this is my plan any how.

The extra capacity is nice, allows you to kinda look around a little before you have to re-fuel. The only downside for me is , now I don't have room for my tool box in the front of the bed. bg
