Anyone know, for sure, can you do this w/ gas, or only diesel ? I've heard yes's and no's.

If you try this on a gas truck, you'll probably end up with evap. emission problems unless you use a shut off valve and turn it off when the ECM is monitoring evap.

I have a transfer tank in a Gas truck. I put a electric pump out of a Tbi pickup in mine and ran the line to the top of the tank. Through a fitting that I welded into the tank.. And then down to the filler neck with a fitting welded on there as well. If you keep a couple of gallons in the tranfer tank and don't run it dry. It will still hold enough pressure to keep from kicking a CEL for evap. emmissions. Nice part is I can run down the road and flip a switch to fill it up and not have to stop to transfer fuel.

EVAP codes can be fixed.

I could not stand to drive that long without stopping. :p

Grainger or ?? sells a kit for the filler neck with a valve. Gravity flow no pump needed. Works great for the past 4 years.

Emission lines filling could be an issue at the top of the tank. Has not been on the diesel.

I have been tryin to find the right look. I think the tank is going to have to be hidden for me. the tank inside of a tool box is going to be the ticket..

Re: transfer tanks/towing
 

You need to check the state and Fed motor codes. I believe it is illegal to use these style tanks as a fuel tank. There are securing/bolting issues and placement of the tank. It seems silly to be able to carry the fuel and then another to use it as an additional tank. I believe that the tank/tool box units are for transfer only and no gas. I run a 460 dually and wanted to do the same thing. There were more issues than I cared to resolve. I am thinking of using the 2 factory 14 gallon tanks and placing a Explorer rear tank @30 gallons as a back up.

These are really nice combo tank/toolbox, they come with fuel gauges. I have a 90 gallon with a 8 inch deep toolbox in the top all alum. ATP. The top of it is level with the bed rails.
