I'm switching from gas to a 1st Gen CTD for my Dodge Dually. I figured at the same I'd install a 98 gallon transfer tank from these guys:TransferFlow .
Here's the truck:


Does anybody have an idea what the combination of steel tank + diesel fuel would weigh? And what are the effects of carrying that much weight that high up in the truck?

 

no, idea.
just wanted to say nice lookin truck

 

Figure that diesel weighs about 7 pounds per gallon.
You could call the manufacturer to see what the tank weighs.

As for carrying the weight high, there's quite a few trucks using those tanks on the road allready.

PS: Nice lookin' Rig.

 

Thanks. Right now the torqueflite trans is breaking my *****, so the sooner I get the truck off the road the better. I guess the additional weight won't be a problem.

 

Nice looking truck. I carry a 100 gal tank ( it will hold 104 full) in a 3/4 ton cc and havn't had any problems, although I would recommend baffles in the tank, mine doesn't have any and I can feel the fuel moving if I corner too fast or stop too fast.

 

I have the 70 gal tank from Transferflow. VERY good product and they do come with baffles. I installed mine myself, took about 5 hours (would of taken less time if I had an assistant).

Go for it.
