Transfer Flow's 40-Gallon Toolbox and Fuel Tank Combo for Dodge, Ford, and GM Diesel Pickups
With over 5 1/2 cubic feet of storage space, it's the all-in-one toolbox and fuel tank combo for short bed and long bed Dodge, Ford, and GM diesel pickups. And because the fuel fillneck is located inside the locking storage compartment, your fuel is kept safe and secure. Good thing with today's fuel prices.
The toolbox tank is made from 14-gauge aluminized steel for superior strength and rust resistance, and is baffled in two places on all four sides. It is powder coated black for a durable finish. The tank is about flush with most bed rails.
The 40-gallon auxiliary tank operates with Transfer Flow's EXPRESS-UFS operating system, and comes pre-assembled with fuel lines, wire harness, mounting hardware, fuel pump, and computer module. The computer module will turn on the auxiliary pump when the fuel level of the OEM tank drops to approximately 1/2 full. The auxiliary tank will then transfer fuel into the main tank until the stock fuel gauge rises to about 3/4 full. The transferring of fuel at set intervals will occur until the auxiliary tank is empty. When the fuel level of the OEM gauge drops below 3/8 of a tank, the auxiliary tank is out of fuel, and the OEM tank has 3/8 of a tank remaining. Because the transferring of fuel is automatic, there's no need for a toggle switch to flip back and forth between the two tanks.

First of all the unit is the same for a Ford, Dodge, or Chevrolet. You would think they would have manufactered the tank model specific. I bought one for a Chevrolet and it clearly reads "Dodge" on the inside. The mounts on the back of the tank are extremely hard to get at. You have to take measurement to figure out where to drill for the mounts on the back of the tank. The instructions say that the tank should be mounted at least 3/4 of an inch from the back of the bed, however in my truck I wanted it as close to the back of the cab as possibole due to my fith wheel hitch. On the front mounts (the easy one to get to) the bolt hole end up in one of the support channels that run across the bed. I had to get a 90 degree drill and window the channel with an 1 1/2 hold saw just to be able to get the washer and nuts on the bolt. I had to cut the other two bolt on the not so easy to reach bolts so that I could get a socket on them. I figured that if you buy a tank for a Chevrolet then the tank out to fit a little easier such as the mounting tabs fitting in the valleys of the bed lines and not on the hills where you have to use spacers under mounts to get it level. It is not a very user friendly mounting system. As far as the coatings go if you bump the tank anywhere with a tool such as a screw driver it easily goes all the way to the metal past the powder coat. As for the rest it was not too much trouble to finish. I was in the auot repait industry and it took many tools and skills the average person has. Just my opinion if you but it and do not have much experience you might want to think about having a shop install it. However maybe its just my application and the others might be more straight forward.
