Has anyone put an auxiliary tank in their bed? Purposes being to extend range and to be able to pump fuel out for other purposes, like a generator. Of course more generators are gas than diesel, and diesels are usually louder, but anyways.
I've essentially seen 3 designs in general. One is L shaped and part of it is above the bed. I'm not sure I want the tank taller than the bed, I'd want to be able to put a cover on it (not that I have one other than a canop). The other two are square, one type is simply the tank. The other type has a built in toolbox. But the toolbox doesn't seem to be more than 6 inches deep, if that. So not sure it's worth doing that. Instead just get a separate toolbox for tools and carrying other things...
They seem to run 300-1000 used on craigslist. Of course I could put in the blazer tank or whatever in place of the existing rear tank, but that would only gain me ~15 gallons over stock.
Thoughts?
