Great Tank,
July 24, 2009
By henley
from Connecticut
"Recently, I purchased the 60 gal. auxhilary tank for my fith wheel tow vehicle. My truck had a 90 gal tank, which was over kill for an RV. I also could not use a bed cover on my pick up. The 60 gal tank with tool box must have been designed specially with a low profile to fit under the bed cover, to maintain that smooth sporty look and hide my tank so as not to make it easy for self help people to gas up. My truck has 2/3 more fuel capacity for longer distance and allows me to seek out bargan fuel stops. Also mentionable is the fact that I now have secure storage for my chocks, power cordes, stablizer jacks, etc.
Its a great buy and as serviceable as any brand on the market.
I highly recommend this item."

"How could you not like this.. It fits perfectly in my 2500 GMC HD short bed PU with a 5th wheel hitch. I have it controlled inside the cab using a electric soleniod valve. Great for storing tools on top..."

Love the tank,
August 18, 2008
By dottfire
from Yuma, AZ
"I recently purchased an auxillary fuel tank/tool box combo. I love the tank. I now have an extra 60 gallons of diesal for those long hauls. Having the tool box storage is the best. It gives me enough room for the extra tools I had laying under my seat. The look of the tank is great. Not many people can tell it is a fuel tank. Installation took a whole 15 minutes. I have had several comment on the nice look of the tank. After shopping around, I found this tank the most affordable and best looking one. I would hightly recommend it to anyone."

Excellent,
April 21, 2008
By cdndooley
from Thunder Bay Canada
"I found the tank to be very well constructed good welds and the fit and finish excellent. The installation was simple and took aproximately 1 hour . I would recomend this product to anyone requiring added fuel capacity in a diesel application. The only drawback the tool box portion is a little shallow but it still provides sufficent storage of tools etc. Great product value for money."

By OOYES
from Michigan
"Great tank, if your a RV trailer puller don't leave home with it. Find cheeper fuel with the extended range the tank gives you and the pice of Mind of not worring about running out of fuel is priceless. Some brands selling for hundreds more and this as good as any of them and you can use the saveings for fuel you will need on yours trips. I pull a 34ft. 5/wheel W/3/4 ton diesel chevy. so far I have pulled my trailer over 10,000 miles"

For the price, a good unit,

from La Vernia, Texas
"Had it installed for about 2 months now and everything has worked perfectly. Would have given it a 5 but the only thing I don't like about it is the mounting tabs at the bottom of the unit. They are too small. I replaced those with larger ones when we installed the tank."

60 gal. aux tank and tool box combo.,
October 29, 2007
By jrssmoker
from Ogden, UT
"I was very dissapointed with the quality of welds and finish on the edges and seams on the box. The welds were spotty and had arc marks from the electrode coming in contact with the surrounding metal (apprentice welder). This tank/tool box would have been acceptable for a old work truck but not a 45,000 Show Truck. I had the delivery driver stay while I removed most of the packing, it was'nt until I removed all of the cardbord around the lid that I noticed it was dented. I called the freight company to get the driver to return to inspect the damage. I was told the damage had to be noticed while the driver was there to obtain any consideration for damage. Caution-Unpack the tank completely before the driver leaves!!!"

Excellent Value,
October 16, 2007
By ColoradoGuy
from Colorado
"Good quality work on the tank and box. Unit is light enough to move by yourself during installation. Tool box area on top of the tank is a good depth for stuff like tools, tow straps, extra oil, tire chains or any other suff that won't fit in your truck cab. The vent located near the fill tube tended to slosh fuel out when the tank was filled to capacity. I attached a 18" length of rubber fuel line and looped it up and around the tank to allow the tank to vent but dampend the sloshing out of the tank...no fuel out the vent since. I suggest predrilling the holes in the welded on mounting brackets at the bottom of the tank BEFORE setting it in place to save the drill bit from walking off the mark."

Auxiliary Fuel Tank/Toolbox Combo: Diesle,
October 15, 2007
By Bakersfish
from Bakersfield, California
"Great tank with a small tool box on top that's perfect for those things we always need but have no where to put them. Couple this with the Install Kit and you have something that looks good and works with no problems. Very easy install and now we don't have to stop so much for fuel. I'll buy another one when I get a new truck."

Aux tank,

"Easy to install, however...have found we needed to shut off the fill valve, as it came up through the fill neck and was running out. The 'T' installed isn't working as it should."

Auxiliary Fuel Tank and Toolbox Combo,
July 9, 2007
By Spaggy
from red deer, alberta, canada
"I love having the extra fuel on board. My biggest pet peave with the trucks today is small fuel tanks, this takes care of it.
My only complaint is with the weld quality where tool box is attatched to tank. I had 1 pinhole leak at that point, but a little dab of sealer took care of it.
Recommend using the auto fill kit available, fill it and forget it untill the main fuel guage starts to go down. Very easy install."

Toolbox/tank Combo,
July 9, 2007
By TruckLadyAZ
from Arizona - Phoenix
"The diamond plate toolbox/tank combo arrived on time, was even better than I hoped and is the best deal I found after a LOT of looking. The handy sight gauge is great. I did have to have the box altered to fit behind the wheelwells, so don't forget to measure! (I knew that before I bought it so that was OK) Also its flush with the top of my bed (2006 Ram 2500 quad) so I can put a tonneau over it. Best box for the price anyplace."

Auxiliary Fuel Tank and Toolbox Combo — 60 Gallon,,
March 7, 2007
By Uful
from Kentwood LA
"The tank is well made and installed easily.
The outlet could have been a size larger which would inprove filling the main tank faster.
This brings us to the adapter kit which also needs to be larger for better fuel flow.
An electric fuel cut of valve needs to be added as an option. I'm tring to locate one as I write this review.
I am very happy with how promptly it was sent to my house."

"I used installation kit and now I go 800 miles before I need to refuel. I leave the valve open all the time so it is always feeding into my regular fuel tank and when the gauge moves off of full it time to refill Aux tank.Plenty of room also in tool box. Cheapest that I found anyplace. Excellent workmanship"

Diamond plate aluminum 60 gal. fuel tank /toolbox,
November 17, 2006
By longhaulRVer
from Port Orange, Florida
"This aux. fuel tank / toolbox combo is just right for any serious RV'er. It extends my range between fuel stops from 300 to about 900 miles ! A definate PLUS in view of todays fuel prices! The just-right size toolbox is perfect for emergency road gear (jacks, lug wrenches, tire pressure guages, roadside warning signs etc.) and also has a very handy fuel level guage so you don't have to guess how much fuel remains.This high Quality Aluminum fuel tank looks real stylish, (polished Diamond Plate) ,is very practical and ,when empty, is light enough to be easily removed to allow full use of cargo space if necessary. A 'must have' item for any RV'er especially if you do any amount of long distance towing."
