Has anyone installed an extended fuel tank or auxillary fuel tank for a gas engine? I'm looking to increase my traveling range by adding addition fuel storage. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated....

I think they make 32 gallon tanks..I had one in my outdoorsman
I've seen one 09 Ram and he had transfer flow in bed tanks installed. Due to laws and regs he couldn't have a direct flow into his OEM tank so he just has the regular gas nozzle inside the bed. Whenever he needs to fill up he just pulls off at a rest stop and fill up from the bed of his truck.
I had a 2010 Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4x4 with a factory 32 gallon fuel tank instead of the 26 gallon. I didn’t get any further. My fuel mileage dropped do to the extra weight, so when I ordered my 2015 HEMI Ram I just stuck with the 26 gallon.Has anyone installed an extended fuel tank or auxillary fuel tank for a gas engine?

Correct. I used to work for the company that designed/installed the Fuel System Leak Testers for the FCA Saltillo, Mexico plant. There was an option for a 32 gallon tank. As I recall, they built very few trucks with this option.I think they make 32 gallon tanks..I had one in my outdoorsman

Water /fuel/milk weights 8.6 lbs per gallon. So just figure 9 lbs per gallon for liquid. 50 x 9 = 450 lbs. a 50 gallon plastic tank with all the goods needed to operate weights around 100 - 150 depending on make and model. There may be heavier ones and lighter ones out there. It’s just that’s the weight that I’ve seen while looking up 30 - 50 gallon tanks. So just figure you will add 600 lbs with a spare/oversized tank.@OP- Transfer Flow has a 50 gal tank they say will fit so long as you don't have the 5'7" bed.
But 50 gallons of gas weighs 312lbs, PLUS the tank and ancillary fittings etc. That will hurt your payload as much as it helps extend your range.
