Auxiliary fuel tanks

[MIDNIGHT RIDER]

Factory 20 gallon tanks? My front is a sixteen and rear is 19 I believe.

My truck is a commercial chassis-cab frame.

It also came factory-original with a steel front tank and a plastic rear tank, which I have been led to believe is an odd combination.

I don't know what factory volume specifications are for the two tanks; I just know that, when either one runs nearly dry, it takes a hair over twenty gallons to top it off.

I traded two old used tires that were headed to the junk-pile for my big tank.

The guy had spent the day at a state surplus auction and had three identical brand-new never-used aluminum tanks, along with a truck and trailer over-loaded with other auction bargains.

He crippled into our shop with a ruined trailer-tire and a flat spare.

I swapped him the two old junk tires even for the tank; he left a much happier man and I wouldn't take a hundred-dollar-bill for the tank.

I mounted it onto the steel flat and then built the big steel tool-box/tank-shroud around it.

Its all perspective. Glad it worked out for you!

Now you got me scratching my head I gave my brother my L tank when I got my truck in '08. Hmm, he got rid of his pickup for a utility bed and the tank is just laying around now.
