Question Second Fuel Tank

I have a 2002 F250 7.3L PSD that I need my bed for a slide in reefer (no comments on that, please for my oyster farm biz.

Does anyone have any experience in putting a second tank under the long bed I have? I have heard rumors that an F450 tank can go where my spare tire currently is.

Please advise!

No experience doing it but I'm pretty sure there's a couple threads where others have added the tank. Not being an idiot but try the search. Someone will chime in with more info.

I believe I read somewhere that an Excursion tank can be installed in place of the spare tire...

Its not a second tank but a larger replacement for the stock one.

Someone ask about using rear tank before and after I posted pictures of my 35 gallons tank, they figured out it will not fit.
I do have 10' long bed with over 5' rear overhang where the tank is.
