Transfer Flow 58 Gallon Install Overview

Not a complete step by step video but a decent look and what you are getting. It looks like a well thought out product that is more involved than a diesel tank.

One thing to lower the ground clearance with a diesel tank but it's a whole different story to do it with a gas tank.

I share his concerns about the metal tank, and it's hard to believe any in the industry are still building these tanks for automotive use. MFRs went to poly for a reason.

I have this tank and Transfer Flow makes a quality product. I have no rust concerns but I don’t live in a snowy and road salty environment. This tank will last as long as the truck.

the tank had to pass CARB testing and certification which are as restrictive as it comes. My understanding is the auto industry went to polymer mostly for weight (CAFE mpg) and cost (making large batches in plastic is far cheaper than steel), not for what is in the consumers best interest.

Apparently, the aluminuminized steel, of which its made, has corrosion resistance. Depending upon the exact "mix", it can be very high. The below article has a lot of info on it.
