Worth the money,
July 9, 2007
By gene427

"What a difference this tank makes. I pull a large toy hauler, however, I do not pull it enough to be real comfortable in and around tight spaces. I bought the tank to give me some added fuel to reduce the times needed getting fuel. It is not always easy pulling into these small tight unfamiliar gas stations. The fuel tank allows me to pick and choose the gas station and/or city where I fuel up. This has been a great added addition to our camping pleasure and a great stress reliever. On a side note, I have small kids that every time I would stop for fuel they would hit me up for more treats and drinks. I am confident that over time, the reduced junk food purchases will more than pay for the cost of the tank. The delivery and service of Northern Tools on this purchase was fantastic!"

Aux Fuel Tank,
August 18, 2008
By jliveit
from Ohio
|
"This is a very nice tank, also ordered the fill kit, very easy to install and now gives me the option to pull my 5th wheel greater distance and shop for better fuel price. Would recomend this tank and fill kit to anyone shopping for a Aux fuel tank, even came with a fuel gauge."

Stress Saver,
May 9, 2008
By verno
from Crownsville, Md
|
"Pulling a fifth wheel , I would often stress out about where to fuel, as most fuel stops on the road are not made for large fitth wheel rigs. With the tank, it is nice to be able to choose where we get fuel now. Another plus is being able to fill up or top off when travling when you come across fuel at a good price.
Very easy to install, the auto fill works great with the tank, looks great, and easy to fill."

Auxilliary gas tank,
April 15, 2008
By Kingdomworker
from Minnesota
|
"Tank was delivered promptly, which is a real plus. The installation went smoothly. Having the additonal fuel storage has been a real blessing. This means not having to stop as often for fuel, nor having to figure out which places to stop at. I recommend this tank to anyone with similar needs."

Need more fuel,
January 14, 2008
By DieselDave
from Western Kansas
|
"Fuel tank arrived with NO instructions, recommendations for mounting or
anything, just the tank.
Installation was pretty straightforward, nothing fancy. Tank works as expected,it looks good and appears to be well built.
Would have like more information about mounting the tank. Does it have to be
mounted on a flat surface or can it be mounted on a frame?"

Mystery tank,
July 9, 2007
By RobD
from Huachuca City, AZ
|
"This tank arrived at my home by truck, completely void of shipping boxes and so forth. It had a few dings and blemishes which I determined were purely superficial so I didn't comment on them. What I did comment on was the fact that the tank is clearly marked "for diesel fuel only". I refused initial shipment.
Less than a half an hour later I was able to telephone Northern about this fact and my discontent and was advised that the tank could in fact be utilized for gasoline. Well, I was a bit confused until the talker advised me that it is marked as such because of California laws. Okay fine. Some hours later The driver returned and made a re-delivery.
For the most part, the tank does exactly what it's supposed to do: hold gas, is low profile and seems to ride well in my Silverado. What more can one say about an Aux tank?"

Extra Fuel to go the extra mile,
July 9, 2007
By nayther
from Burbank, CA
|
"Received this tank in excellent condition, nice polished aluminum diamond plate finish with a bonus I didn't expect, a fuel level gauge! In addition there was a dip tube siphon connection that I didn't know came on the tank, although without a dedicated pump it will not work once the siphon is lost so I connected to a bottom bung. The tank sit nicely in the front of my truck and I attached it with four self tapping screws through the bed, however I was not satisfied with only those four screws holding the tank in the bed so I added an aluminum angle along the top, screwed to the bed but not the tank, no it cannot move. In addition I added a short piece of hose on the vent to keep fuel from sloshing out when it is full. The tank works perfectly when teamed with the autofill."
