My half ton only has a 24 gallon tank and I have to drive atleast 20 miles a day, So I was thinking of installing a auxiliary tank. Not a big one, maybe 15 gallons. Anyone with experience (good or bad) installing a tank on your truck(s)?

you could just do the 35 gallon tank swap. get one from a scrap yard or dealer and switch it out for the one you have now and it will keep everything factory and, at least I would assume, a lot less of a headache

That's what I was thinnin'. BTW, remember it costs fuel to carry fuel.

I was going to say the same thing do the 35 gallon swap. I know weedahoe did the swap and has some pictures somewhere of it.

so much space under our trucks to put another tank, but that extra weight will play havoc on MPG's as MTally mentioned

I drive 116 miles per day and a 26 gallon tank is fine. Or did you mean 200 miles per day. As mentioned, swapping to the larger 34 gallon tank would be the easiest and cheapest option.

A 34 gallon tank is only 8 more gallons than the standard 26 gallon tank. It's NOT that much weight.........

50# is 50# Total tank weight will be around 230#
