After seeing the talk of the Titan Replacement Fuel tanks on the forum here, I have put a little thought into the idea and I've also considered getting a tool box for the back of my truck.
Keep in mind I'm a 1st time diesel owner and also the fact that I've never actually laid eyes on my truck, let alone driven it, as I bought it online and then deployed to West Africa. So, as I said above, I'm just kicking around the idea of the fuel tank problem after seeing a few of you talk about how it seems you're having to stop often for fuel, or you find a fuel station that your truck "likes" better than others but you find yourself having to drive a little further to go fill up etc...
So knowing all of that back to the topic......I like the idea of the tool box so I can keep some tools and stuff back there without looking like Sanford and Son. Then the idea of the fuel tank came about so I thought why not one of these transfer tanks?
After some quick reading on a few of them I saw one that mentioned it had fuel filters on it, one said it feeds directly into your OEM tank somehow, etc....Do they do this???
Which do you prefer and why and can you post some pictures of yours? What some of the coolest transfer tanks with tool boxes that you've seen that don't hog up the bed and look the nicest or have the best features? What should I be thinking about when looking for one? Diamond Plate or just black (is there an advantage/disadvantage to one or the other)?
I have a bak-flip tonneau cover on my truck and would like to be able to still keep a tonneau closed when I don't need access to the bed area.
Thanks y'all! I'm really learing a lot from "hanging" out with y'all in my down time while deployed.
