Auxiliary Gas Tank

[IronRaptor]

Hello,
I just got done installing an auxiliary gas tank in the bed of a 2010 SCAB. It is a DOT approved 37 gallon tank with pump and nozzle. I put a Dee Zee tool box over the top so you cant tell it is even back there. The set up is pretty sweet and I will post pics a little later. I am getting stationed in Alaska, driving through Canada and tow a 30 foot trailer behind, so I wanted the convenience and peace of mind of not running out of gas on the way there. Just thought I would post the set-up in case someone was interested in doing the same. Total cost was $1000 even. The following are the products I used:

This is comming straight from the manufacture website:

·Aluminum Tank Industries manufactures the highest quality aluminum refueling transfer tanks in the industry. ATI tanks can be used for diesel or gasoline. ATI has been granted a special permit #SP14227 that allows for refueling without removal of the transfer tank from your truck. 99% of all other transfer tanks cannot be pumped from, legally, while it is in the bed of your truck and other tanks cannot be used for gasoline. These tanks can be used for commercial and state applications. Choose Aluminum Tank Industries fuel and transfer tanks, not only for a top quality fuel tank that will hold up to the toughest conditions, but for your "peace of mind."

It is a fuel transfer tank not a gravity feed. It is vented and DOT approved which makes it legal in all 50 states and Canada. Very few tank manufactures are approved so that is why they are hard to find for gasoline...
