ditch it and get one that has a bigger tank or better mileage.

 

[sweetk30]

bigger tank with some mods is easy.

i found the 90's vans with the 40 gal tank will fit inside the rear frame rails . but you will need to make a new crossmember for the rear. and plum lines/wires longer and a filler install someplace.

Nah, you need a diesel

Nah, you need a diesel

That is what I meant when I said something that gets better mileage.
Was trying to be subtle.

Or coffee.
I drive commercially and for a while I was drinking coffee, and I had to stop every 100 miles, now I can go for 9 hours roughly 600 plus miles before I need to stop, and my tanks have a 1300 mile range

The Transfer Flow tanks are trully bolt in. I have installed 10 of them in trucks. They are bullet proof. I have drug mine over many things and it holds up.

Too bad they dont have a version for the Burb

This transferfloww looks awesome, especially if you've got a bed to put it in! I've seen a few folks (might have been on here) that just used the big in bed tanks, but hard wired/plumbed in to replace the stock tank. Probably a little more work than a package deal like the transferflow, but might be cheaper.

 

[ktmoutfront]

My brother runs a tank tool box combo. Has an electric valve that he switches on and lets gravity fill the original tank.

 

[twoslo4five0]

so how exactly does the transfer tank work?anyone got any links for some cheaper ones?what about under the bed?id love to hold 100 gallons if i go that route and if i go to a new tank id like to have about 50

 

[ktmoutfront]

The Trahsfer Flow brand are direct replacement for the stock tank. I believe the one for your truck is 45 gallons.

i think toose are for a newer body.mine is a 99.im wondering if i can do something with a 40 gallon burb tank

 

[ktmoutfront]

They were making them. I installed 2.

The Burb filler may be an issue.

 

[twoslo4five0]

ok so i really started thinking about this today seeing as how im gonna have the bed of soon.i have a 20 gallon tank out of a truck i scraped.i could put it on the pass side and either

run a hose from the bottom of the right side (gonna be hard to do without buying a new tank cause im gonna have to have a flange welded to the tank) to the bottom of the other tank and keep the hose as straight as possible

or use an eletric fuel pump and pump gas from the pass side to the driver when i get low.id prolly have to make a filler neck up through the bed of my truck for the second tank.does this make sense or am i just speaking out loud?

 

[sweetk30]

12 volt pump would be best and safer and cheppst option.
