I know this was discussed for gen1 trucks in this thread, but thought I’d start the discussion for us Gen 2 folks. Clearly there’s a lot that has to go into a real and safe solution...check valves, emissions controls, etc. otherwise we’d see these out there already.
Despite the fact that my bladder usually can’t last that long, I love that we can go 600+ miles in my wife’s Jeep with the diesel motor; we get 25+ mpg cruising at 75-80 mph between here and our other property out in west Texas.
Having extended range without relying on jerry cans while offroading seems like a good thing too.
I’m not necessarily looking for 600+ miles range, but the 26 gallon tank on my SCAB goes pretty fast at my normal 15-15.5 mpg...and a lot less than that off road. I guess I have a heavy right foot...it is painted Lead Foot after all! I considered getting a slip tank..or whatever you call the bed-mounted tanks like all the oil field guys around here have for their diesels...but that option doesn’t seem too safe to me. Diesel is a lot different than gas when it comes to transporting.
Let alone what could happen if I rolled the truck with an external tank full of 93 octane while jumping/off roading.
I think Harmon made a central-mount under bed tank for one of the gen1 guys with all the proper emissions fittings, etc. so no CELs or anything. Does anyone recall any details or have any additional information?
Anyone have any better ideas other than a purpose built custom tank...or better yet a nice foam-filled fuel cell with a baffled sump for low fuel situtions?
