transfer tank in bed
ok guys quick question. i would really like to add a transfer tank to my f-250. problem is it is gas and i would like to fill it with gas. now i've installed plenty of these at my old work. i remember something about them being diesel only? is it legal to put gas in a transfer tank?

I'm going to guess you're looking at something like this...
51 Gallon Aluminum Rectangular Refueling Transfer Tank DOT Certified
There are different laws about the safe transport and discharge of fuels... Some states like Cali are more stringent while Iowa laws are non-exhistant. Well they exhist but aren't enforced on civilian/residential vehicles here in Iowa b/c tons of farmers use them for gas and diesel transport to the fields for tractors and combines. You'd have to check your local laws or ask a local cop/vehicle enforcement officer... Unless someone knows what the rules are for Alaska...
OR better yet just call the US DOT and get the regs strait from the "Horses Mouth."

As for the diesel only... I know for a fact my FIL puts gas in one of his transfer tanks b/c he has a couple gas JD's that he runs during harvest. I would think you'd want to make sure you have a one way pressure relief valve to let out tank presure when the gas gets hot... I'd think that diesel and gas transfer tanks would have this.
