Auxilary Fuel Tanks

   / Auxilary Fuel Tanks #11  
You'll have to call around to see who retails the off road stuff. Some may only do larger amounts. I have it easy because I use fuel oil for heating (+wood) so I pump right out of my fuel oil tank and use that. I asked the supplier and was told it was the exact same product they sell as farm diesel. (Though they were a little reluctant to tell me that until I told them it was for tractor use only. It's illegal to use it in pick ups and over the road rigs unless it's used exclusively for agricultural purposes. Apparently the red dye is readily detected by State inspectors even long after there isn't any of that fuel in the tank. I guess it's a pretty hefty fine based on what they estimate your usage was). I add winterizer additive and have not had a problem. Also beats lugging 6 gal cans around all the time!!

What year pickup are those aux. tanks off of? I currently have an in the bed tank but would like the extra bed space.
Thanks,

we get the off road diesel at the local farmers co-op, at some stations that sell diesel, most truckers that have refrigeration units use the off road diesel in the motors for the cooling system, and sometimes from a "bulk" plant, which is the local companies that deliver fuel and oil etc to the local gas stations. i have found no difference in the quality of the fuel, i have been told the only difference is the added dye..
heehaw

Richard,

They are from my new truck. 1973 Ford F250. Fit in front of the rear wheels on each side. You need to cut a hole in the box for filling.

Twinkle Toes,
Darn too old for mine. Oh well guess I'll keep the bed one for awhile longer.
Thanks,
Richard
