under bed aux tank????

I want to put an additional fuel tank under my bed. with a pump that I can switch on to transfer fuel to my stock tank. I had ford PU in the 70s & 80's that had duel tanks. I don't want to pay 41300 for a titan and have all that weight on one siode of the truck.

Anybody done this????

Could I get a used one and install it on the other side of the truck??

Are you wanting to get a used factory tank to mount on the other side? I would think it is possible if there is room but I bet the exhaust will be your biggest problem.

On my 1st gen Cummins I installed a 2nd tank from a Ramcharger that went where the spare tire is. It was pretty easy as a 1st gen truck's frame is similar to a Ramcharger.

I'm guessing that if you can fab up some cross-members it wouldn't be too hard to put in a tank from a Ramcharger. Or even a Blazer/Bronco or anything else that had a tank behind the axle.

Wiring/plumbing it so that it works just like a second tank is much nicer than having it pump into the main tank and isn't all that much more work.

Whatever you use, make sure it's rated for diesel (not galvanized)......Ben

Talk to http://www.aerotanks.com/. They can custom make what you need. I plan to do something along the same lines...
