Nope, but if you think about it, it's only one tank of fuel...

Hey Storm....doesn't that flap around really bad when you're driving down the road? Seems like it might be distracting to a driver behind you, don't want them rear-ending ya!!!! Cool idea though!

I just tuck mine behind the fog light. Mine are actually booster cables as I use my truck for service work.

No idea how much the dang thing holds, but it's over 50 gallons for sure. Somebody did rough math and figured if it was 14" x 14" x 5' (which is probably close) it would hold something like 77 gallons.

Well, lets do the math!

14 x 14 x 60 = 11760 cubic inches

11760 cubic inces = 50.91 gallons

Still, that tank is huge. I want one!

Well I guess you couldn't get rear-ended that way! Unless you are driving like a stunt man backwards down the Freeway! haha

I never checked the math, but I think it holds more than 50 gallons. When I went to test drive it the low fuel light was on, salesman put in 5. Drove 15 miles or so, bought it, and drove 30 miles to the next town and less expensive fuel. I shut the pump off at 45 gallons- gauge showed full though. 45 miles of driving in this truck would burn 3 gallons at best, so I know there were over 50 gallons in it. I've put 430-ish miles on it and used about 1/2 tank according to the gauge.
I haven't been able to find any kind of a name on this tank anywhere or I'd give you the info.

I just carry somthing like one of these guys in my truck at all times. It's easier to get at vehicles in parking lots most of the time.

That is a pretty slick setup though Storm.
