Nice tanks, but according to their website, I'm pretty sure they're only approved for diesel fuel. DOT approval for gasoline tanks is really difficult to come by.

 

I did go to the Pa dot office about this. I can use any auxiliary tank I wish as long as it is not a transfer tank. Meaning it must be plumbed to the vehicle. No transfer pump.

 

Transfer flow out of Chico, CA has a DOT special permit for their toolbox fuel tank combos. If you put in the model of your truck and select gas it gives quite a few options but even in the item descriptions it states that it can be used for gas or diesel.

Not cheap, but available. Also if anyone needs an in person picture from Chico, It's just another reason for me to visit my College Alma Mater, and maybe get a beer or 20. I could stock up on Sierra Nevada right from the source

 

Thanks for info on TSB for miles to empty. Titan and Transfer flow only advertise diesel underbed replacements or aux. Not gas. Am I wrong or can anyone be more specific. Just spent 2 hours at dealer trying to.trade out but not affordable. 2017 f250 ccsb 4x4 6.2 gas. HELP!!! Love truck but difficult get truck and 35 ft travel trailer in convenience store gas stations every 200 miles. Matter of time before I dent something.

 

I thought you were looking for auxiliary tanks, not replacement tanks. Sorry about that.

good luck.

 

Isn't THAT the truth!!

 

Called everyone...Titan...Ttansflow...Fuelbox...apparentl y some federal law now prohibits any alteration in gas fuel systems. So disappointed in Ford for a 34 gallon tank in a super duty! Makes no sense such little capacity in a great truck. Can never do Alaska with it. Buyers beware

 

Go to FAQ: Driving the Alaska Highway | The Milepost. You will find out how you can do it. My Dad did it twice in his V10 motorhome that didn't get the mileage that the F250 can get.
Quote form their webpage. "motorists should plan for 100 to 150 miles between services on a couple stretches of highway." There is no laws against carrying a couple of 5 gallon cans just incase you need them. It can be done!!!

 

Milo,
It's hard to be disappointed in Ford for their gas tank offerings...they have the largest in the segment. 34 gals (30 usable +/-) and 48 gal in longbeds is pretty good.

This year I've put in ~12,000 miles towing our travel trailer and knew that I wanted more range. That's why I tackled my auxiliary fuel tank project. 3k miles later and it works just fine as long as I don't overfill it which is a pretty easy thing to avoid.

There is also a company called ATI (aluminum tank industries) that sells a DOT approved in-bed auxiliary tank of varying sizes. Or you can just put several 5 gal can in the bed and plan your gas stops.

Don't give up, bud. There's a solution out there for you.

Also, you might ask yourself what your usage is going to be because that'll help identify the factors you are looking for and capacity tradeoffs when shopping between transfer tanks, auxiliary tanks, or extra cans.

All the best.

GF
