Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / May 2006extra fuel tank in 2500?
Is it possible to add a second fuel tank under the bed like you sometimes see with Fords? If so, is it an aftermarket deal or an oem deal? Thanks. > Is it possible to add a second fuel tank under the bed like you sometimes > see with Fords? If so, is it an aftermarket deal or an oem deal? Thanks. Aftermarket. See http://www.transferflow.com for options I have a transferflow tank underneath. 54 gallons and a monster. It runs from the rear axle to the transmission and has quite low clearance compared to the rest of the truck.

Thanks. how much lower does it hang over the stock 35 gal? is that kind of upgrade worth it?

Last time I had one was in a 99. I currently have 2000 2500 4x2 club cab. Where the bed meets the cab the tank drops 6 inches below the frame and 9 inches of clearance from the ground. It is made of steel and quite solid. Ran about $1200 plus install. GB >> I have a transferflow tank underneath. >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> > see with Fords?

The truck originally came with 3.53 gears and I think 3.73 or 3.77 were put on it reducing fuel economy down to 21 MPG. I want to go back to the orginal gears if I can find them somewhere and get 25 MPG. With that I could then get 1300 highway miles on a tank of fuel. The original owner was doing a lot of towing. I have no plans for towing for a long while. GB > how much lower does it hang over the stock 35 gal? is that kind of upgrade > worth it? [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> > see with Fords?

The way I see it you have to think just beyond more range for towing. Also think natural disasters. When those hurricanes struck last year all of a sudden everyone was filling up and no new trucks were coming to replenish stocks. Many people were running out of fuel. With that extra fuel, if you keep the tank full always, be rest assured you can make out of the area. Can't put a price on the safety of your family.

Here is the link to the tank: http://www.transferflow.com/html/dodge_midship_fuel_tank.html It seems the 2003 and up get a bit of a larger tank by 2 gallons. > thanks for the info. > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >> >> > see with Fords?
