|  diesel fuel... lots of diesel fuel.
my dad and i just finished installing a KSH 45 gallon auxiliary fuel tank in his '03 ford superduty... it now holds 83 gallons of diesel and can drive about 700mi without stopping for fuel. thats towing a 26' toy hauler, with a total combined weight of about 21,000lbs. its pretty slick, we put an electric transfer pump between the aux tank and the stock fuel tank, with the flip of a switch mounted on the dash it transfers fuel into the stock tank. and everything is mounted under the bed so inside the bed all you see is the tank and two hoses going through the bed floor. not too bad on price either, total with pump, hardware, hose, electronics and all was $658.. http://www.kshmarine.com/truck_tanks1.htm |

Nice. That'll be handy on the long trips camping and riding. I'd hate to see the bill to fill it up though  |

haha. That would be a nice addition to a hauler. Those setups look pretty slick, can't hardly even tell they are fuel tanks. | |

It's around 2.65-2.70 here as well. Should be around 1.00 IMHO,it's trash fuel for Christ sake. I'm thinking seriously about drilling a well,building a refinery and using the crude oil to make my own |

we paid 2.84 for diesel today. empty to full on both tanks would be 235.72... but the stock tank already had 3/4 in it. we spent about $150 on diesel this afternoon. and we think this r/c thing is an expensive hobby, try quads. thats what started all this. with the truck, trailer, 2 quads and fuel and food to go out for a weekend my dad has just over $100k rolling down the road.  |

Thats a shame ain't it. And think,the bigger part of the cost is due to the cost of the oil prices being jacked up. The price of the fuel ain't the only thing. Tires,parts EVERYTHING is raised because the price of oil goes up. Pretty sad really. | |

Does the truck lean at all with all the fuel in it? We put aux tanks in two fords and both of them had a little bit of lean to them when the tank was full. cured it with helper bags though....Anything that has to do with the dunes is expensive. Rails, quads, food, beer, race fuel, diesel....the list goes on and on.  |
