Is your tank covered by a toneau cover? Why do you want to Line-X it?

 

no cover the fill neck sits about 2" over the hight of the box. linex just looks beeter and will help bled it in to the best to make it blend in better then an ugly plain aluminum box.
Im gonna try to give it a swirl patter with my digrinder and a brillo pad. Ill see howe I like that. they also have an aluiminum dimond plate box that is special order and cost about $100 more.

 

just purchased this unit, 1689 shipped, its a 91 gallon tool box combo with a 8gpm fuel pump included, shipping is going crazy because fuel prices but can't wait to install it. the thing i like about it is the pump is hidden from view when not in use

 

Raptor that is a great tank, thats what I want.

 

that was what I was after as well nut it would not fit in a shrt bed and I didnt want to wait. thety had a 60 galllon version of that same tank but I could not see giving up 30 gallons. I also had no need for an external pump as im not going to be filling up farm equipment.

 

I don't have any farm equipment either, but I am a little leary of connecting it to the main tank, (did you place a filter in line between this tank and your main tank?)i figure i can just use the included pump while on the road, I have to find a way to fit some sort of filter in where the pump is, I just bought a forest river 35' travel trailer and , with the summer trip i plan on taking i don't want the hassle of having to fuel up alot in strange places.

 

Raptor why filter the fuel again, there are more filters inline anyway.
You could use a fine funnel screen when you are filling the aux tank too.
I'm not disagreeing, I like to be protected from water & crap too.

 

as of now I dont have any other filter. I will be installing a frame mount wix water seperator and filter.
rds has an install kit that has a roll over valve that plumbs in to the filler neck hose, wich is what I used.
like I said the hardist part was unbolying and tilting the bed. thats really not hard. just need 2 people and a few chunks of 4x4 to do it.

 

Sounds like a great addition cheezit! I look forward to the pics.

An add-on like this might make it tempting to cross the Southern border .........

 

ya I need to get off my butt and go take a few but its cold outside.
Thats the one fear I have... I can make it pretty far south and back up north again on a tank.

 

what are you doing to get the water and metal out of the fuel u said you were able to get?

 

spending lots of time with filters , pumps and containers.

 

i'm ready to mount this thing, let me ask what did you do to secure it? did you just drill through the truck bed and place bolts, i was also thinking of raising the tank off the truck bed to allow passage of 2x4's and the like when needed. or any other things i may need to look out for when securing this to the bed. thanks

 

Sorry I have been lazy and not taken pics and posted them up. I need to.
I drilled 4 3/8" holes in the bed. 2 in the front and one in each side. watch the placement of the tank and make sure you are not drilling threw the bed cross supports.
its was a rather simple install should tank about 1.5-2 hours.

 

a little late but here it is
