Installed auxillary fuel tank

[blue67chero]

I installed an auxillary fuel tank in my bed and was looking for an electric 12 volt fuel shut off valve and finally found one here http://www.dan-marcrvparts.com/12vofuva.html for a pretty reasonable price and it was delivered in about a week. I 'll take pics later.

So how's it working?
What's the dimensions of the tank?

Im not at home right now to give exact measurements but it fits perfectly between the bed rails and I have it on a 2" spacer to raise it up a little bit and it is about 1 inch below the bed rail probably around 65" wide and 14 talk and deep

It's gravity fed by a solenoid with a switch inside the cab. Drains rather slow but I usually turn it on once the tank gets to 3/4 & it seems to work out pretty well that way. I just drilled a hole in my bed and then removed the filler neck and drilled a hole in it and inserted a barb that was the same size as the fuel line. Drains slow but it works I need to put a filter in front of the solenoid though to be on the safe side. I also have 4 pretty big magnets on the bottom of the tank about 18" from the drain to catch any debris floating around.

Do you think going with the next size up hose would improve the flow much?

And I don't think your picture is working.

You are correct the picture is not working

Now some reason my phone hasn't been loading pics. So I'll have to load it from my gf's ipad tomorrow.

I guess I had to set up an account with photobucket and now i get it to work with pics?....

Haha I upload them to picasa on my Google account, then upload them using a link. But I could directly upload them if I had a laptop.

I know the pics are there this time, it's just my phone being loopy.
