Two twenty gallon tanks and a fifty-two gallon auxilliary will bring a gooseneck load of cattle a long ways across the country.

TWO 20's PLUS a 52gal auxiliary??!! And these are all in addition to original what, 30gal? Man, I'm not sure my truck could even haul that much fuel, let alone tow anything along with!! ;-) Just kidding...bearkiller you must drive the livin' snot outta your trucks(mileage-wise I mean). But that night I described was a worrisome one for me, having just bought the truck and not knowing what to expect after Low Fuel lights...I don't want to do THAT again! Be safe out there! :-)

These are in my Ford/Cummins, original two twentys and an auxilliary fifty-two for a total of 92 gallon.

No thirty in there, but I might squeeze one in some day.

The wife's truck only has the factory tank, thirty I guess.

I have been playing with the idea of tucking in maybe a portable boat tank, or possibly a lawn-mower tank, on a fuel-selector valve, for an emergency auxilliary fuel source for her.

Nothing fancy, just let it return-line back to the stock tank, something to get her out of a pinch, should she get in one.

A Jerry can is an option; but, those things are tough enough for a grown man to horse around, let alone a delicate female; why, she might break a nail or something.
