Within the next year or 2 - I will be doing some serious looking into adding a External fuel tank for the bed 15-25gal (preferably gravity fed into the factory fuel neck) with a reasonably easy set up to change a inline filter install.
I will install a manual block valve between the tank and filter to which will allow the only way to transfer fuel from the external tank to the main tank.
Just to give that extra piece of mind of not having to stop & re-fuel every 3-4 hours: Once we purchase our new 5th wheel & begin our camping adventures all over the state.
Looking more towards a taller / thinner tank to mount up against the front part of the bed.
If any of you have a similar set up already installed & don’t mind sharing your install ideas & thoughts they would much be appreciated.
I don’t know if the 2017 model year will allow for such a install into the filler neck without some major modifications.
Thanks
This is a similar install that I am interested in.
Although I would add a inline filter between the block valve & filller neck. I think I would install the filter just after the valve inside the bed to make replacement very fast/easy. Plus give easy inspection of the filter. Also lesson the chance of damage to the filter from being under the bed.
