I know I know search for it but the search function was acting screwy. Besides you never know what fresh perspective might be out there. I was thinking that if I could arrange a paid trip across to the states from Victoria once a month, it might save me mula to get the tank and fill up over there...

I had one custom built by a company in Prince George. I ordered it through a shop here in Edmonton but i'm sure you could get it built directly from this outfit and have it shipped to you.
Mine holds 185L and has a 4.5inch toolbox on the top of it. Just enough to hold tow ropes, cleaning supplies, jumper cables.....etc.
It is gravity fed with a solenoid controled by a switch right by my shifter.
I had mine installed because I just wasn't comfortable doing it myself and it ran about 1700 installed.

I've got a 150 gal. rectangular sitting behind the cab. 12V, 20 GPM pump and can literally go for weeks between fill-ups. At the local bulk fuel plant 150 gals. is the break point to get me a better price per gallon. Depending on current market prices I can save .20 cents or more per gallon. Definetly worth it if you don't mind sacrificing a little bed space. (Besides my quad handles our crappy roads a little better with a little weight it it)

i have a 230L one custom built also for the long trips and is plummed right into the tank, i can go about 2000.km before fill up, but the bad thing is it really hurts when you fill up. lol

The product looked good before I had it coated.
