Are there any aftermarket gas tanks that will fit the new tundra?
26 gallons is a little small for long trips . ford f150-f250 have 35-38 gallon
tank.
thank you
All I have seen are the tool boxes that have a extra gas tank underneath. My friend has one in this 1-ton Chevy 3500 D/A. He is a retired trucker who doesn't like to stop very often. 38 gallons sure would be nice.

As soon as my crewmax arrives it is getting 2 aux tanks. The space over the wheel wells is wasted space on all trucks. A tank on each side to fit over andaround the wheel well will easily double the range, from good to fantastic.

During Hurricaine Rita, I listened to friends from the gulf coast of Texas tell me stories about sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic for hours and driving by gas station after gas station with plastic bags tied around the pump handles (no gas).
In an evacuation, people take ALL of their cars & trucks because they are loaded up with belongings. Plus, who would leave one of their vehicles behind to get flooded out? So, there are insane numbers of vehicles on the road, impaired fuel delivery, and gas station start running dry.
I'm sure it's pretty scary when you start seeing abandoned cars on the side of the road and people waiting at in gas stations for fuel trucks to arrive. It made me go out to get a couple of 5 gal cans and keep them filled up despite the hazards. I want to be able to get at least 100 miles without needing to fill up.

Anyone find a solution besides adding an extra tank to the bed of the pickup? It gets old filling up all the time and when towing it seems like it is a race to the gas station every trip..
Current tank is getting 8.2mpg.... No towing. i had it in 4x4 for prob 5 miles. Im at around 80miles on the tank and the needles at the halfway point. Good thing i dont drive much and its all city. I cant justify spending 1000bucks on a bigger tank. I might just get 4 gas cans or something

Apparently there is no such thing as "doing a SIMPLE search." Everyone wants someone else to do the leg work. Sorry but that really IRKS me !!!:flame:

there should be a prerequsite (sp) for posting, it should happen upon signing up with the forum. After getting a user name you should have to perform a search for 10 things you have questions about and until you do that you can not post period. Once you have met this requirement you will then be familiar with the search function and then post to your hearts content but be prepared for the flames when asking the question that has been asked once a week for the last 52 weeks :target: :flame: :flame:

Did anyone notice the date of the first post. This thread started almost a year before the other one I found. http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forums/tundra/120812-bigger-gas-tank/

Thats funny I hadn't even noticed! Good to see someone did search and dug up this OLD thread. The OP is long gone by now. I love that all four of his post were new threads he started.

Where are you getting the tanks from, and where are you getting the service done?

Transfer Flow looks like a great option, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T LIVE IN CA! made here but C.A.R.B. won't certify it for use here.

I started this thread a couple years ago about my experiences with the Transfer Flow 46-gallon tank.
