Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / March 2006additional fuel tank?
i want to add an additional fuel tank to my truck, but due to a slide-in camper i cant use one that fits in the bed. i need an under-bed fuel tank, the bigger the better. does any such tank exist? id like to be able to drive from montana to north carolina without having to stop for fuel. thanks,  SignatureNathan W.

Collier http://UtilityOffRoad.com http://7SlotGrille.com http://InlineDiesel.com http://BighornRefrigeration.com http://ConcealedCarryForum.com If this is the rig you were setting up with a slide-in camper and pulling an RV behind it, you're likely to need at least 200 gallons of fuel to make that trip, adding 1600 lbs to your load + the weight of the tank. Are you for real? >i want to add an additional fuel tank to my truck, but due to a slide-in >camper i cant use one that fits in the bed. i need an under-bed fuel tank, >the bigger the better. does any such tank exist? id like to be able to >drive from montana to north carolina without having to stop for fuel. >thanks, I think you really need to dump that thing and buy a Kenworth or Peterbuilt conventional with an extended sleeper. With it's twin stainless steel 200 gallon external tanks, huge dual tires, massive ground clearance, fifth wheel, and 8 wheel drive, you should be set to go ;-) SignatureIf at first you don't succeed, you're not cut out for skydiving > If this is the rig you were setting up with a slide-in camper and pulling > an RV behind it, you're likely to need at least 200 gallons of fuel to [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >drive from montana to north carolina without having to stop for fuel. > >thanks, > If this is the rig you were setting up with a slide-in camper and pulling > an RV behind it, you're likely to need at least 200 gallons of fuel to > make that trip, adding 1600 lbs to your load + the weight of the tank. > > Are you for real? i never mentioned the load i would be carrying with me on the trip. if youve a source for the tank im looking for, i would appreciate it.

You want an additional 150 gallons (and that's with 0 reserve) in an under-bed tank.... that's right about 20 cu.ft. of space. No way in hell can you fit that under your truck. The best you can hope for is to get a replacement for your stock tank. Transferflow makes a 56 gallon replacement tank. You can then get an aux. tank to go in place of a spare tire (not something I'd recommend, however) to hold about 45 gallons or so... that'll give you 100 gallons (rounding off), letting you make the trip with one fuel stop somewhere in Illinois. the extra 450lbs. of fuel you'd be carrying over stock is obviously something that needs to be factored in... You really should get an FL50 :) > You want an additional 150 gallons (and that's with 0 reserve) in an > under-bed tank.... that's right about 20 cu.ft. of space.

It's not the bad side of town, just the rough side,. In Canada, experience says Speak French, or ready to learn it by the seat of your pants, and enjoy the ride. I'm an immigrant from England so I accept this philosophy -- wasn't my country before so live by the rules Yes, lots of bad and good times. Isn't that the life worth living?

If you get some good ideas on hooking the two up together let me know -- up 1 hour north of civilization you buy gas and put it in containers on a regular basis just to have enough anyway (when you snow plough for a couple of weeks without a trip near a gas station) rach |
