Auxiliary tanks connect to your vehicle’s fuel tank. Diesel fuel can “gravity feed” from the bottom of your RDS tank. An optional Diesel Install Kit contains the necessary items to economically and easily connect your RDS tank to your OEM fuel tank. Gasoline auxiliary fueling is allowed, if siphoned from the top of the tank by using an electric fuel pump.

Box was beat up when received, and looked like it had been wrapped and taped up by amazon. Tank was bent on both ends making it impossible to close the lid. all the welded bungs were bent also but the tank looks like it could still hold fuel without leaking. Still on the fence as to keeping and trying to fix or just send it back. Have had issues in the past with amazon repackaging and or mishandling auto related things especially liquids. To do this much damage they would have had to drop it on both ends. Hey guys take a little pride in your work. Oops oh well it's not mine so who cares. Amazon is not the go to place anymore, prices are higher and the care in shipping is lacking.

I bought this one though Amazon Prime as I bought the same tank from another vendor. That one came literally destroyed. The amazon carrier came to my door and asked me where I wanted it and it came in perfect condition. Thank you amazon.So on to the tank. The tank all in all is a fine box. Like many of the other reviews (I think I read all of them), it is made of a thin aluminum. I do think the top could of been a little thicker, but that doesn't take away from the review as its more of a observation. I have a 2010 Ford F-350 Lariat Dually with a 8' bed... the way its mounted in mine using all available space, I still have 6' 2" of bed left.The instructions are pretty much straight forward. I would recommend reviewing some YouTube videos as they help with kind of a wide view of the installation. I would recommend drilling the 3/4" hole and before you put the final placement on the neoprene strips, have the gravity line from the tank already be fed through the hole. I had to take the tank off, install the hose and replace. You can see in the pictures, the tank just fit and I didn't want to force the fuel line. Also would recommend putting some small lube on the nipples of the valves for easier installation, super tight as they should be for fuel holes.Also as many other reviewers have stated, buy the diesel fuel line kit. Come with all you need.All in all, installation took probably 2 hours. Now knowing how to do it, I could totally shave 30 minutes off that. Just didnt want to screw up. VERIFY your clearances where you drill the boats. You might hit something or you could drill a hole into an area in which the hardware might be inaccessible. Luckily I didnt have that problem and thats why it took a little longer to install. The center bolt hole cleared a part of the undercarriage by an inch.Best of luck, highly recommend and now I have 98 gallons of diesel fuel on board with no leaks.

OK, number one. This picture is awful and it does not show the true finish of the diamond plating. The finish is very nice, bright and shiny. Actual width is 55" but take under consideration the 2 tabs you have on the side, these come out 1" on each side and 1" towards the front for the 1 tab in the front. It does not have any tabs in the rear. The lid opens on its own since it is under shock tension upwards so as soon as you hit that latch it will open. On shipping UPS does what they can but the tabs on my tank were banged up and I had to bend them back in to position with a pair of pliers, no big deal. It had a couple of small dents but no big deal neither, I kept the tank. Will but again.

Fairly easy to install, looks nice. Arrive in excellent condition. The only issue is it's not a 60 gal tank, couldn't put more than 51gal in it. It's not a deal breaker for me but still dont want to over pay for something I was told. Mounted in 2016 f250 short bed with 5th wheel hitch.

I bought this for my 2016 Ford F350 (DRW, 8' bed), which I bought to pull my 41' fifth wheel. The tank probably isn't needed if you aren't hauling a large load, but when I pull the fifth wheel I drop to about 8-9mpg and only around 250 miles to the OEM tank. Adding this tank gave me 700+ miles between fill ups. I specifically purchased this model because it fits in the bed, under my The tank was kind of a pain to install, a lot of moving it around to find the right places to drill holes. It didn't help that I have a fifth wheel hitch already in the truck, actually that made it about 10x worse. It fit perfectly, although I might have offset the tank away from the fuel line side next time. One bolt was right above the fuel line (had to buy a shorter bolt), the center bolt was above the frame (had to tape the hardware together under the bed to make it work - could not see anything) and the last bolt was free and clear of any obstruction. The tank valve stem was right next to the truck bed, made the transition under the bed a little difficult.You will need the for the tank, just make sure you purchase the correct kit for your truck. Vehicle info is in the listing, mine fit great. The RDS website works well for deciding which tank and kit to purchase. I added a piece of leftover fuel line to the breather valve in the fill section of the box to help avoid splashing fuel.My only criticism at this point is the volume. It claims 60 gallons, but when empty I was only able to add 52-53 gallons at each fill up. Not a big deal, but still not 60 gallons.Definitely worth the investment for cross country trips pulling my fifth wheel, especially further out west where truckstops are few and far between. I actually had to run to about 75 miles or so left of diesel once, that was not fun.
