Siopposition Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I don't have mine mounted yet. But I will be putting one directly across from the stock one. Same size. Just have to reroute exhaust. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnj92131 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 At least one member has a stock 18 gal tank on the passenger side. I have looked at doing a second tank for the last 8 or 9 years. But just can not see the need for it based on how I use the truck. Even on 2 coast to coast and back trips last summer, my 23 gallon tank was all I needed.

Siopposition Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I'm in the same boat. I have a short bed. But have an extra long bed tank. I've been doing alot of measuring, and I think it'll just fit. May just have to "move" the bottom back edge of the tank so it clears the axle a little better.

MeanLemons Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 what do you guys use to switch the tanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marine1Texas Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 What I did was put a float and a inline pump for the 2nd tank. When I hit a toggle it will transfer the fuel from 2nd tank to the 1st tank, and with the float it will shut off so it don't run dry when tank gets down to half a gallon or so. It is setup like septic float system, but will not activate till I flip the toggle. It is a 18 gallon tank that is just on the other side where the old exhaust muffler was. Basically I can go all over my 240 acres in 4wd low all day any still have plenty to get back and not worry . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I'm sincerely jealous of having 240 acres at your disposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggilez Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 It's not set up as an aux tank, but i believe that alexia used an xj tank in the spare tire location of the mj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marine1Texas Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I will get some and post up! it sure is nice having the land, but when taxes due that is a good chunk. The hay sales pays it tho which is good. Being able to hunt on your own land, deer, hog, and bird makes it all worth it tho. I am in area that is just 30 above ground water so it get sticky some times going in most of the back area. the black clay we have here you can park, and come back 30 minutes later and be 4 inch in mud, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
