2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission transfer tanks

[PARTSMANAL]

Is anyone using a transfer tank rather than a certifed auxiliary tank? Have you ever been stopped or hassled about it? The transfer tanks are about half the price of the regular aux tanks and for the limited use i need it for i would like to save some money. The one I am looking at says DOT certified is that good enought to get by?

I would think that if it is DOT certified than it is good to go, talk to one of your state troopers that does inspections and he will prolly tell you the same thing. I know of no other certification needed ... ... ... ..... of course if you are in California it may be different, seams they make stuff up just to make our life miserable



cheers, Kevin

Make sure the tank is DOT certified as a in line tank, it could be just certified as a DOT transfer tank which means it is certified to ride around in the back of your truck, but you can not run it in-line with your fuel system, you can only do that with a DOT certified supply tank which will cost twice as much, that is just you and me giving more money to the government, I personally would rather give it to them in the form of a ticket than a tank up-charge.

transfer tank

I put a 40ga. DEEZEE tank at the front of my bed with a crossover toolbox behind it. the tank sits lower than the rails and you dont even know it's there. It's only 9in. wide. I kept a hand pump in a seperate box and put it in when I needed it,I didn't want to deal with the troopers. I then found out that under 40ga. you don't need a permit as long as it is not attatched to you truck tank. I keep two 5lb fire ext in the bed bolted to my boxes,that keeps them happy.
