40 Gallons of Diesel? (21 + 19) ??!?! Nice range.

Occasionally, I will see one of these on ebay. It's an extra 19 gallon auxiliary tank. Now I know we all pride ourselves on having a 21 gallon tank. It's nice to be able to go 550+ miles per tank of gas. but to get 40 gallons.. hmm.. besides the small home equity loan you'd have to get to gas up, most of us would only have to gas up once a month. That's pretty sweet. They cost around $200, and I figured that $200 could buy a heck of a lotta diesel, so I decided not to... but then again, if I ever see one pretty cheap, I think I may just snag it. Here are some pictures.

Refueling ever few months would be nice.

I can find no suppliers of these, but you may be lucky to snag one off ebay.

 

 

From what I've leaned and read, it's a pretty easy install and once it's in, you never have to switch to the other tank or anything. The bad thing is, now you can't fit as many body's in the trunk.

I stole these pictures off ebay! Ha!
