RDS auxiliary fuel tanks

RDS is on the market for 40 years and has become a world-wide recognized manufacturer of top quality marine and automotive tanks, toolboxes, and other aluminum products. If you were looking for the auxiliary fuel tank, RDS knows what you need! RDS fuel tanks are built of 5052 aluminum alloy and tested for their ability to retain pressure and withstand motion, impact and fire. Using them, you will be able to increase driving range of your truck! Auxiliary tanks can be used as additional capacity for a factory tank with the use of an RDS diesel install kit. All tanks meet DOT standards. You can find all RDS products here: RDS | Aluminum Auxiliary & Transfer Fuel Tanks at CARiD.com

While RDS fuel tanks are the best-known products of the company, there’s also a wide range of toolboxes including chest, topsider, side-mount, fender well, in-bed and dock boxes as well as storage boxes for tools, maps, first aid, food, and drinks.

Does anyone have an auxiliary fuel tank?

I must agree this investment will serve you for years + it can increase the resale value of your truck.

I just gravity-feed fuel to the main tank using a ball valve on the outlet hose from the aux tank. Northern Tool has a kit that allows you to "T" into the fuel filler hose. You can easily access the fuel filler hose in the left rear wheel well.

I am sure this tip will be useful for other drivers who consider getting an external tank.
