Looking for some information about using a so called "transfer tank" only tank as a aux tank. Found the deezee alum tank in the size I'm looking for. It measurements are 59.5x9x19. 40 gallon tank. Sounds like the perferct size tank for not using up a lot of bed space. Here are some pictures of the tank. http://www.autoanything.com/GenericPages/ProductImage.aspx?ProductID=4616&GroupID=4

What makes this tank a "transfer only" tank? Couldn't I just use the drain hole from the tank to gravity feed into the stock filler neck? Using the rds install aux kit? Or what am I missing? Thanks

Gravity feeding is illegal. It has to be drawn out of the top of the tank.

I have one setup like that, gravity feed with a ball valve. Just keep it with fuel in it. If its empty driving will cause it to crack in the corners. had 2 go like that.
