IUEC135ELEVATOR Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Almost finished with my auxiliary fuel tank install. Still have to do the wiring but the plumbing is finished. Figured I would share some pictures. Was going to use it to transport moonshine but then thought, "nah, I'll just use it for gasoline"??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstenger Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Who is the manufacturer, and is it actually gasoline approved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: In your plumbing into the factory fill line, there are two lines. One is obviously the supply line from the pump, is the other a vent? If so, is it to keep from having a separate vent on the bed tank? I would think so but wanted to be sure as I'll be installing one when my truck gets here.

Thanks Allen One is the supply, the other is a vent for the truck tank back into the aux tank...and the aux tank is standalone vented also. This tank also has check valves in the fittings...in case of rollover it will/should block the vent) lines. I really didn't need the vent in the filler tube as both tanks are individually vented and the pump I went with is ridiculously low volume gpm, but I figure, it's better this way rather than vent fumes out of the side of the truck at the fuel door. People know not to smoke at a gas station pump, but no one would think twice about walking up beside a truck smoking a cigarette or cigar. I only pump while not driving so I can monitor, and just figure it's better to vent from tank to tank to center of truck with low fumes. Rather then right out the gas door.

Even towing will get you 1500+/-. I like the ATI...well built, good price. Mine was 1150 with options and freight, 100 for fuel pump and 150 for stainless lines and fittings. I got lucky and this tank was the perfect size I wanted. But they can alter and customize the design if needed they have many DOT approved gasoline tank sizes. Tank and barrel had the best pricing on that tank so I bought it though them, and I checked every site and local business out there.

rlp450 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I installed a RDS 60 gallon in bed tank and have it set up gravity feed, I just open the valve on the tank when we start our trip and it keeps the main tank full until it runs empty and then I will start to see the main tank being used and then just look for a fill up when it gets to 1/2 or 1/4 full. Usually this allows to me to get to my destination before needing to fuel up, that way I can fill up both tanks when the 5th wheel is located at the campground. Have done it this way for 2 years and haven't had any issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUEC135ELEVATOR Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 Gravity feed is only allowed for diesel...gasoline has to be pumped out and not able to free flow after siphon action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaltevers Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Did you finish this install? How do you like it? What pump did you go with? I’m considering this setup for my 2022 Chevy 2500 gas. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d232799 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I'd love a ATI tank but hear in NYS its illegal to have over 100 gallons total as you have to display a special HAZE-MAT certificate and labels on truck, etc. I live in the Catskills, gas is pricey so I'd love to get filled up 20-25 cents cheaper on trips. Looks nice setup. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xler8r Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Just curious, do you also have a extended range tank swap installed? Or just this aux tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
