Increase Your Driving Range With A Replacement Fuel Tank

Did you know that you can almost double your truck’s fuel range by replacing your existing fuel tank?

If you want to go further between fill ups, there are a few companies out there that manufacture aftermarket fuel tanks. These tanks can hold almost twice the amount of fuel as you current tank. Let’s explore some of the options as laid out by the experts over at Do It Yourself RV who recommend replacement tanks made by Transfer Flow.

Replacement tanks tend to be shaped a little different than the stock tank, but provided you get the right model for your specific truck you will not need to make any modifications. Toyota, Ford, Dodge, and GM replacement tanks are all available from Transfer Flow.

Why an In-Chassis Fuel Tank?

In a word, space. An undercarriage, in-chassis fuel tank doesn’t take up extra bed space. Bed space that many travel trailer owners hold invaluable, and many who two Fifth Wheels don’t have the option of giving up.
