I Got Sick Of my Power Service Bottle Rolling/Leaking In The Back of My Truck So.....

I have to keep my PS in the back of my truck because I can never remember to put it in just to fill up and since I don't have a tool box and there's no way I would store it in cab, I made this little aluminium box and then I took it to the Line-X guy who did my truck and he sprayed it for free


nothing special just thought I would share it with you guys

I just hope that another PS admirer doesn't walk by your truck while it's parked somewhere and take that out of there for ya...then your bed addition will have been in vain. Sorry, I'm not trying to rain on your parade...it's a good idea. I just wrap my Howe's up in an old towel and put it under the back seats...

nice spot for it, my open bottles stay between truck tool box and inside edge of bed, keeps em upright, and the awful smell outside the cab.

Mine has yet to leak, been using the same bottle I keep in the truck for almost a year now...
I just keep shop rags wrapped around it, in a plastic bag underneath the back seats.(The small bottle, obviously)

I just buy the big ones to refill, I divy up the small bottle for 3 tanks.

Oh, ok...that's cool. Back where I come from (Little town called Independence, VA), I would leave my KEYS in my truck and feel just fine doing so...but out here in SoCal...NO WAY. People out here would look into the bed of a truck for a penny out here...

ULSD & additives

I'm thinking the additives restore the diesel smell to ULSD as it's darn near undetectable at the pump when I give the nozzle the sniff test. I spilled some on my truck last fillup and used a paper towel for cleanup and could hardly smell anything! The fuel was transparent.

They either steal what you have in the bed of your truck (snow chains), or put trash into your bed. They treat like a free dumpster.

Looks pretty clean. Ive got mine squeezed between the bed and the generator, but I know what you're talking about with the leaks. Their bottles suck.
