How do you determine which metal parts are "non-critical" and "non-structural" components of the vehicle? This process was very well explained but there has to be an easier way than this. And why is this limited to diesel only?
Kinda of a hack installation if you ask me. For $1,700 you should probably give enough wire loom to cover the control wires to the cab. And buy the installer some safety glasses, gloves, and a friend. Maybe a little bondo for the hole he installed with the plasma torch too.
What would you guys recommend for a 2001 Chevy Suburban? It’s lifted and I just took off the spare tire, since I’ve never used it since owning the vehicle and now I’m looking for an auxiliary fuel talk. Is there a link maybe to a GM truck you’ve guys worked on preferably years 2000 to 2006 or something documented as such for one? It’s lifted on 35s with a 6in lift with 3in torsion keys on the front and 3in pucks on the coils and now I’m looking to updating it more for camping and traveling long distances. Something like this would come in handy while out in the woods for sure.
@@twinscrew9.047 Yeah the only difference between the majority of gas and diesel tanks is the permitting and licensing required to market the tank as diesel vs gas.
in sure this has been thought og but why not extend the factory fuel return to the aux tank and then got from the aux tank to the return of the main tank, that way you would have no cutting and a aux tank
Darrin Portell /// I’ve worked in fabrication on new truck beds, let me tell you that just one slip and you mess up the whole job. We used protective tape and very expensive hole saws to avoid walking it. Steady smooth pressure is all it takes. Never messed up. High speed, a little water, light pressure, and your golden. The right Tools make it happen
cargopage you don’t program the vehicles computer. The tank has an independent fuel pump, gauge, and controller. When your main tank starts getting low enough to accept the 30 gallons you just flip a switch and it pumps fuel from the rear tank into the main tank.
at 1879.05 with the tank and fuel thats not worth it at all and whats with not not makeing gas systems thay are loosing out on a big market like expedition overlanding and long range highway travel
Gasoline is a lot more volatile than diesel and the requirements/restrictions make gas tanks VERY expensive therefore most tank makers avoid gas systems. Thank the USDOT
Should be possible. I did this on a 2011 Toyota Prado not fitted with a factory sub tank. Only issue was not being able to control which tank was filled.
I got 5 gallon jugs of gas that are federally approved. Why can’t I use this for gas then. 1/4 inch thick wall with venting. SHTF scenario doesn’t have to be federally approved people, ya dig?
Not only do you fuck the side of your bed, now you have an ugly fuel door that does not match the original. So now on top of paying $1,700 you have to by a damn one time use drill bit and a fuel door that matches...wow no thanks. I'll just use a drag up tank that costs way less and holds more fuel

Wow! Just wanted to say that the work you guys do is awesome!!! Keep up the great work! USA! Yes we can!
What exhaust is on this truck? That pipe looks great there all blacked out.
Can you reprogram the onboard computer to reflect the fuel changes?
Always paint the cut for the fuel door and holes. Always. Sand the edges, prime, paint, and then silicone grease

ask dot
WOW!!!....Do you make such a fuel tank system, for gasoline, that will fit a 2012 Nissan Titan?!.... I really want an auxiliary fuel tank!!!
I'm looking for something similar for a 2019 Tundra....did you find anything to suit your Titan?
I was about to place my order until the price came up, no go

great product ,...way over priced

Were you able to find a solution? I have a 2002 Suburban.
@@klumsytone I have be looking too for my GMC suburban 2500 2004 8.1
@@arabian1982 I think the titan will work with yours since it’s a 2500. Just put gas instead of diesel from what I have read.
if you don't have an aluminum ford bed....won't that new fuel door rust out in 5-10? years
paint
Great instructional video. VERY monotone, aka puts you to sleep though.
You need to make these for gasoline ⛽
Bro, just use a diesel tank for gas.
@@largerPOTATO will it work
@@twinscrew9.047 Yeah the only difference between the majority of gas and diesel tanks is the permitting and licensing required to market the tank as diesel vs gas.
@@largerPOTATO thanks I guess I'm putting one in

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the tip.
Good video but there's no way in hell I would drill a hole in the side of my truck bed

Is it possible you can put this on a sequoia if it is this could be a top seller
Have you found anything similar? I'm wanting something like this for 2019 Tundra.
This is a diesel only application
Can you put this in a 1999 Ford f350 V10 longbed crewcab
How do you program the computer for this capacity then?
cargopage you don’t program the vehicles computer. The tank has an independent fuel pump, gauge, and controller. When your main tank starts getting low enough to accept the 30 gallons you just flip a switch and it pumps fuel from the rear tank into the main tank.
is there any spare tire tank that fits Jeep JT?
What size is the fuel filter
Anyone else massively cringing as he takes a hole saw to the side of his truck?
Ross Bagley Why not put that fuel door on the inside of the bed? Hole saw to the paint? NFW!
Bill K suppose if it’s a work truck he’s not that bothered, and having it in the bed would be awkward to fill
They show that option
Did anyone else notice the wheel they put into the F150 at the end? It was an 8 lug wheel... Um wut.
Alex Klejka and they were working on a dodge...
Class 5 hitch comes factory on 3/4 ton trucks .. which makes 8 lugs normal

Because of goberment overreach
What about Ram Box ?
Is it possible to Y off the factory fuel?
Should be possible. I did this on a 2011 Toyota Prado not fitted with a factory sub tank. Only issue was not being able to control which tank was filled.
I was disappointed to see split loom wasn't used for the wires.
Why can't I use this on a gasoline truck?
Ken MacMillan Because it's not the same bolt patterns and coatings to keep the gas inside the tank from rusting out
These tanks aren't made of steel. I think the problem is federal regulations.

Gas has to be aluminum
Install it in the wheel welor inside of bed
bend or trim.......forget it., then!
For $1,700 you could get two 110 gal bed tanks
I totally agree on those 110 tanks and they are guilty approved for gasoline and all other fuels
2 110 gal bed tanks would take up 90% of the bed
You could literally get a 200 gal one for $900
$2000 is fucking insane 😂
I'll stick with my 100gal auxiliary fuel tank I got for free.
Alex f150 came in 8 lug

Trushhhh I can make another tank + original hoze 🤨no need to elictric
I'll just ruin my bed by installing fuel door more damage than this tank is worth
