Under Bed Aux Tank Fuel Tank

I would like to know where I can get an aux fuel tank that fit where the spare tire was on my 06 MC. I have moved the spare tire to the bed since a 37” tire will not fit therefore I have plenty of room. I don’t want an in bed tank and would like to keep my OEM tank.

It will be around $1,000+ (when I checked) but one could order the standard 52 gal tank and fuel pump for the CC as it where is mounted where your spare was.

tankn60,

What is a CC (Crew Cab)? So if this tank mounts where my spare is, that would work. Where can I get this tank?

Once you confirm which tank you want make a few calls or go online and find one at a junk dealer.The price of a new one won't be cheap

my dad was telling me that a place in Roswell NM is selling replacement tanks for the factory tank that is 52 gallons instead of 35.

Check out Titan tanks in ID, they have a 60gal tank that will bolt into the stock location and use the stock pump/sending unit.

Titan does not make a tank for the Megacabs yet..I called them last week about it and they said hopefully they will have one by this summer...

Already talked to them. You will have to replace the OEM tank with theirs and then a smaller under bed aux tank. They don't have a larger underbed tank where the spare tire go.
