Aux tank, April 14, 2008
By bigbuster from Altoona, FL

"Very happy with the tank. It installed very easy and seems to work fine. Simple engineering makes for fewer mx problems.
Took one star away because it came with no installation instructions which left me a little uncertain as to how to mount it. I called RDS and received some help. Later talked to a guy experienced in installing aux tanks and he suggested I place some padding between the tank and the bed of the truck, which I did. Again, I reinstalled it; so I now have more experience than I wanted but it was an easy intallation.
Also, it was delivered in an eighteen wheeler which could not get down my street and I had to meet the driver out on the highway."

easy to install, April 14, 2008
By BaKen from armstrong County, PA

"Tank was delivered within the time I was told and was easy to install. I had my wife help for 10 min. to hold bolts in the bed while I tightened them . The whole project took about a 1 hour. The tank looks good and with current fuel prices it is nice to fill up when I find fuel at a lower price. It also adds to how far between fillups with out interfering with my fifth wheel hitch."

Great Tank at a Great Value, January 14, 2008
By Country from VA

"This is a very quality tank and I couldn't be happier with it. It installs easy and fits well up against the front of the pick-up bed. It's flush with the bed rails and it's only 8 or 9 inches deep so it takes up minimal bed space. With this tank I can keep on roll'n and don't have to watch the fuel gauge, constantly planning for fuel stops."

Great Tank, January 14, 2008
By Jmacr12 from Colorado Springs, CO

"This tank was all that they said it was and then some. Install was a snap. Zero problems with tank, the only problem I had was when I installed the fuel guage sender, the baffles on each side were in the way. Took some mods to the sender, but at least the baffles are there. I have gotten other tanks that did not have the baffels as promised. Well worth the money. I'd recommend to family and friends."
