Fuel transfer tank

[Althecraneguy]

Can't have a work truck without a transfer tank. 51 gallon rds tank with 15 gpm pump. I'm not familiar with how bed covers are mounted. Do y'all with bed covers think I have room for one or is the tank too tall?

 

[carlhenry]

that is the same tank I have in my bed with a tonal cover over it works great

Awesome. What cover are you using? Any issues accessing the little tool box?

Thanks for the info. I'll post a follow up when I put one on. Got a few things that I'm gonna do first.

Until you get a cover on that bed , correct that nozzle ,Facing upwards C'mon.
If theirs enough room use this filter when you change it out AE-3AZL. I change Mine Once every 24 months .. the only exception to this is when it the filter shuts down the Pump Flow, it will eventually curtail the flow 100%... Thus you never need to worry. Using the Zinga will allow you to run Your factory Filter to 50K miles or 2 Years...I change My 2003 5.9 Factory filter 3 times in 141K miles and 12 Years.

If you going to leave in the Bed and NOT elevated Install 1-way valve. You would not want the Fire Dept and your local environmental agency sending you the bill for the clean up... in the unlikely even the nozzle leaked.

I have the revolver X2. It is an aluminum roll up. It would work.

I would lose the galvanized pipe & fittings, I won't use galvanized for any fuel or oil.

High quality Galvanized Piping is fine ,You are correct on Mexico/China piping.

That Piping is 7 Years old, The gallon counter stop working and I needed to fix it, The Piping was clean, Not rusted or the black flakey thats accustomed to Cheap Piping. Caveman I know what you're talking about. I change out this Pickup tube back in 2013 because of the poor quality material used. We use 1000s of FT piping every year for another Business I Partially own. Also We are Parker Distributor if that piping had any risk I would replace it.

Also All My Dsl's have additional Lift system with Auxiliary Filtration. That Included My Eco.

Look at the Diamondback cover. It mounts on the bed rails like a shell and is approx 4-5 " above the bed.
All aluminum & stainless steel, lightweight, high quality and strong. You can put a couple of quads on top.

I've been told that about galvanized piping since I was a youngster, I'm 65 now, personally I wouldn't do it except as a last ditch option.

Its good advice not to use it, Unless you know the Origin and the material, You won't get Good Products at Chinaards ,China Depot, China Lowes.
