Extra Fuel Capacity?

I want to increase my truck's fuel capacity to the maximum available with out relocating my spare tire. I had bad experience with Aero-Tanks here in So Cal many years ago (maybe they are better now). What other brands are out there, and do you like them? How hard is to plumb / wire multiple fuel tanks?

Thanks.

Thanks John. It looks like a better product than the aero tank.

I have an appointment to replace the cheeseball tank on my SB with these guys. Could you let me know if there are any "challenges" I need to be aware of before I spend the $900?

You could email me if you don't want to these guys in a forum. Thanks, Don

About 12 years ago I bought a bigger saddle tank from Aero-tanks for a 73' Bronco. It rusted out in less than two years. I would make sure they're doing some kind of protective coating now. Like aluminizing or something. The one I got 12 years ago was spray painted steel. Hopefully they are a lot better now. I would definetly check out their warranty first.

I haven't installed one of their tanks in my truck yet, but I've heard nothing but good things from people who have. Do a search for transfer flow. A lot of these guys have had them installed.
