Fumes from Aux Fuel Tank in Bed?

[Davison]

The search for a aux tank has narrowed down to Trans Flow. Ben Winters (Mgr) assured me that a 98 gal tank in the bed with a camper fill neck kit thru the shell, will not make my bed with the Snug Top shell smell like a fuel station!

What think you? If it's vented under the truck and fills from the outside, will it be okay?

BTW, I decided against the OEM replacement tank (54) gal. More bang for the $ with the 98 gal... .

BTW, They have their own fuel sender they use on their aux tanks, but the OEM replacement was designed to utilize the OEM sender #ad
I harped on the mgr about the sender problems but que sera sera... .

Been runnin' that setup since '94 in three trucks. only time I had an odor was when I forgot to tighten the fill hose where it goes thru the shell wall. I use a stainless marine deck plate marked diesel in the side of the topper. Takes a key to open the threaded plug.

I have the 98 gal Transfer Flow tank in the bed of my truck. Also have fill neck thru the camper shell. No problem with smell in the shell. Love the set up.
