here's a suggestion for you fuel transportation needs. go find a truck wrecker and size up tanks to replace those 5 gal bucket bombs. i have a "portable" isuzu 35 gal tank that keeps the mess to a minimum and I don't have to worry about ab bucket side splitting open. here's the tank and filtration setup in the back of my 'burb.

If I did that' my wife would be a road widow ( rider never comes home)
the scarry part, is the burb is lugging around a 40gal butt tank plus the 35 gal WMO tank.
lets say an avg of 20 mpg (18-22) out of a 6.5, the range in only restricted by *** breaks. :O

If the 6.5 stays running long anough to make a trip.

I'd help you out, but you'd be barely out the door if you broke down near me . We were just out that way last year. Conference for work in San Diego, and we DON'T fly. Loaded the extended cab '95 PSD with all our own food, water and gear and hit the road. Camped in the truck (or laid over at truck stops) the whole way. Return trip we did the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Bryce, Canyonlands and a State Park near Moab. Clocked in at 5150 (somebody call the po-po?) miles backing into the driveway at trip's end. Burned a quart of oil, lost maybe a cup of coolant, didn't skip a beat. So no, 4000-ish miles in a 25-year-old loaf of bread is not "nuts". Paying to stay in bedbug-infested m/hotels and/or shoehorning yourself in with a few hundred other poor sods in a flying oxygen bottle, now THAT'S _nuts_.
You'll have a blast. We'll have to swap Bryce pics.
Are you hitting Moab / Canyonlands / Arches? Gotta get to Arches EARLY one morning at least, before the crowds of rude Euro-tourists get there (we DIDN'T do that, and were disappointed). Also check out Dead Horse Point State Park, right between Arches and Canyonlands. A LOT less busy, and some beautiful views.

I have been thinking since I saw the white dually about a flat tank similar to a packrat bed toolbox, but with the fifth hitch a transfer/saddel toolbox combo is probably all I could use/find?!
Calvin is that tank swapped from rig to rig?
If so how do you treat the conections?

I'm the cotton swab
I just ran out of time for my 35 gallon bus tank project. Just not enough time. I plan on the bus tank a delphi pump and a ten mic Hyd oil filter. Just tooooooo swamped with work lately. I'll post pics when I get it done
Toaster has new tires new front suspension new front and rear brakes new air pump all repacked bearings new u joints newer alum radiator new lift pump healthy inj pump and fair set of injectors. I carry a spare IP spare lift pump spare injectors spare elect delphi pump ..... Few odds and ends.
Changing the oil tonite top up the coolant and hitting the road tomorrow. I try and post a pic of the route in the lounge tonite
