Product Description

Most RDS transfer tanks also provide auxiliary fueling. RDS offers a full assortment of tanks in various capacities and dimensions to fit your needs. Auxiliary tanks connect to your vehicle’s fuel tank. Diesel fuel can “gravity feed” from the bottom of your RDS tank. An optional Diesel Install Kit contains the necessary items to economically and easily connect your RDS tank to your OEM fuel tank. Gasoline auxiliary fueling is allowed, if siphoned from the top of the tank by using an electric fuel pump.

    Nice tank, no hardware.
    Nice tank! However, I bought mine from Northern tool which did NOT include any mounting hardware which I assumed would be included. It drop shipped from RDS on a skid. I was suprized as most reviews talked about nice packaging and installation hardware. So, I called RDS and they said install kit was $15. They suggested I go to hardware store and save myself some money. Don't think I saved any money lol. However, was able to scrap up the parts. Kinda like buying a car and they say "Oh you wanted the transmission with that" it will be extra.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2019
    Item showed up fast without any issues. Installation was straight forward. I used the Southern Truck 11029 2" Diesel Auxiliary Install Kit, I got here on Amazon.
    Was pleasantly surprised the tank arrived with the upgraded locking cap.
    Also included was dense foam padding and all nuts and bolts springs and instructions.
    I'm always nervous dealing with freight shipping, but had no issues this time.
