Well I am looking at buying either an F250 or F350 Heavy Duty from around 1997, and was wondering If I could add a custom gas tank that's an extension from one of the 2 tanks that are already in it. The reason for this is just so that I do not have to fill up as often. I was planning on taking a rather large tool box and bolting that into the truck, and putting a special liner on the inside. It would give me about 75 Gallons of extra tank to fill, which would be about 4 normal gas tanks in the truck. This sounds somewhat radical, so I am wondering if there would be anything illegal about this? I plan on bolting down the tool box, looking for something like a spray liner to line the inside of the metal box, and was planning on just using a normal hose that comes through a hole drilled in the bottom of the bed and tool box and that leads into the gas tank. Does anyone have any suggestions as how to hook up the hose to the tanks? I was thinking something along the lines of draining the original tank, drilling in a 1/2" hole, and putting something along the lines of a threaded connection rod into it and soldering/welding that on, then just sliding a siphon hose over that and putting on a few worm drive clamps and doing the same to the tool box. Anyone have any suggestions?

What WWW said.....I have no idea how I ended up with the link I did above. Tried to cut and past the Transfer Flow website too. They have exactly what you are describing.

 

thanks for the links, I had never heard of this and thought it would be a cool concept.

 

I would definately go with a very well engineered system if I were you, cause if you dont, it could cost you your life if you were trapped in a major accident and fuel happened to leak out and ignite.

 

I wish they made one for Gas SuperDuty with a Pace-Edwards bed cover. why only Diesels?
