Can't... much more and you head into placard territory You can buy 100 gallon diesel tanks for larger pickups, but when you head into that territory with gasoline you hit hazmat blocks. Might be able to find a second aux 30 gallon tank, but you won't be able to go "much" more.

 

i coulda SWORE i saw a 45 gal tank somewheres one the net...mighta been from ARB...hmmmm.

well - ill keep lookin'.

thanks

You can get gas tanks that go in the bed and represent a tool box. They hold a whole lot too!

i know im not crazy - but what im ALMOST positive i saw was a replacement tank that was larger than stock...(close to 40 gal.)

ill keep lookin'...this isnt over yet.

Have to be careful using those... like I said, you hit hazmat status not much bigger than stock The limit is somewhere around 50 gallons. Diesel doesn't have that limit, which is why those tanks exist They are great for haulers, but can violate local laws with gasoline.

 

thats cool - a 50 gal. tank would be WAAAYY better than the stock 25 gal. tank she came with (jeez - id even take a 35'r and be super-stoked)...heck - even my old bronco has a 32 gal tank - AND - there was an optional 45 gal. tank available from the factory.

i spend a fair amount of time with my truck out in the middle of nowhere - so, gas is nice. LOTS of gas is REALLY nice. the rest is gravy.

AEROTANK (thanks for the link ) makes a 30 gal. replacement tank...its only a mere 5 gal. larger - but - its a start...and im still lookin'.

thanks

50 gallons total... including the 25 factory tank Not an extra 50 gallons... that would be neat, 75 gallons. But its also a driving bomb, lol.

 

how come he can't put a 45 gallon tank in his truck box? How is that different then carrying nine gas cans? Just buy a big tank and put it in the box, plumb it up and remember to never ever ever ever smoke in your truck...lol...good luck man.

 

25 gallons is no more dangerous than 75. If either go off your going to die..lol... so carrying and extra fuel tank really isnt any different... now carrying a bunch of lose plastic jugs seems more dangerous to me.

 

Yes, but more fuel = bigger hazard as far as the DOT is concerned. That applies to any method of carrying fuel.. be it an aux tank, 9 5 gallon tanks, etc, as long as you have more than x gallons of gasoline carried on your vehicle, you are considered hazardous and require placards, etc. Diesel does not have the same restrictions, which is why there are such large tanks avalible. But note that almost all say "diesel only".

 

Good luck finding a technician to install a tank bigger than 50 gallons.If anything were to happen,they can find the tech liable and he could get a lawsuit and even end up in jail.

 

uh - well - they DO sell them, so they cant be THAT illegal...but - i'll be happy with 40 gal. - and then no one has to go to jail.

Again, they sell them for DIESELS, lol, not gas.

 

I searched for about an hour, and I didnt find much. 55 gallons in CA, and 119 gallons in NE. It varies by state.
