How does the whole system work????

I can see that you will fill it up to 50 gallons. Is it connected to the original gas tank or something.

How do you get your transferflow tank of gas into your main gas tank?

It does sound interesting. Although, I don't have a problem of gas shortages around my area, but it would be nice to drive around for quite awhile without filling up.

 

That sounds pretty interesting, but wouldn't ten of these be cheaper and all around better?

I imagine (not sure though) that they're DOT okay. You can store them in your garage instead of having them take up space in your truck.

 

I like to have plenty of fuel around also, mainly because I have so many damn gas engines around of one kind or another...my company buys my fuel for business miles and I have been known to fill a fiver when filling my tank...


If you want the extra fuel to go that many miles, but divide it all up with stops at home, just buy 10 fuel jugs with 5 gallons each, maybe $6.00 each, total $60.00, and just keep two or three in the bed of the truck...enough to get you home if you start running low in the tank. That way you don't have a big, permanent tank taking up space. You never know when you are going to find a motorcycle for sale cheap on the side of the road and need the space to haul it home. You already saved hundreds by not buying the tank, so buy a toy, or a mod for the truck, and don't tell your wife.

 

same shortages here in Houston last week

I evacuated with a Motorhome and even though it has a 70gal tank, I was also packing a spare(two 5 gal red plastic) in the basement. It never hurts to have a backup plan. The gas shortages will come again. Be prepared.

They make motorhomes with basements now? Kew-wul!

 

TransferFlow makes larger replacement tanks and in-bed auxillary tanks for domestic trucks (both not the imports) in addition to their refueling tanks. The auxilliary tanks plumb into the fuel system, the refueling tanks do not. Instead, refueling tanks have a pump (either 12v or manual) and a hose, you can refuel the vehicle the tank is mounted in, your wife's car, your generator, etc.

Refueling tanks are very popular in the construction and ag industries, though you primarily see them for diesel because the DOT regs are more lienent, and that's generally what those guys need, anyway. Lots of companies make diesel refuelers.

I'm already keeping about 50 gallons at the house as an emergency supply. The jug thing presents a safety issue. Keep in mind that the regulations are different for the smaller containers, primarily because they're small, so while it may be legal, ten loose cans in the bed of the truck just skirts the safety issue, not to mention they're a pain. The refueling tank offers a much cleaner, safer, easier, and more convenient solution. Remember, this is something we've had to deal with several times for periods lasting for two or more weeks. After Ivan, I burned over 150 gallons in ten days for my generator alone, not counting the car, truck and chainsaws. It's an expensive way to keep your food cold and the A/C on, but the alternative is even worse.

Anyway, thanks for all the inputs. I was just curious as to wether or not anyone had mounted one of these in a Tundra.

I don't care how much gas is along as I can find some.

Sorry, I forget when I'm not posting on RV sites. A basement is term for those doors/compartments on the side and under the RV.

Unless you were just being silly.
