    might need to support more of the bottom than just those little feet
    800lbs of fuel will push the floor of the tank onto the bed

      Yeah, you can get those large rubber mats from tractor supply to set it on.

      Rubber washers are supposed to go under the bed on the nut side.

    You should paint White, to reflect Sunlight and Heat, less evap, safer, Black is going to trap heat like 10x, big mistake

    Brother, what did you rinse and wash out the inside with?? I got a used one as well and looks dirty inside. Thanks

      @mattanderson1434 2 роки тому +1

      I used farm diesel, rinse the crap out of it mine still had crud coming out, luckily I had that filter. If you use anything besides diesel just make sure it is completely dry

    What keeps the fuel not to over fill main tank?

    • @gingerhotshot
      @gingerhotshot  5 місяців тому

      A proper air lock, may not work on all trucks. I always ran to a 1/2 tank then flipped it on and my fuel tank would just stay at 1/2 as I drove

    Bro with a little bit of research and patience, you could have done this way smoother. Especially with the plumbing.

    How fast does it flow with only 1/4”?

    • @gingerhotshot
      @gingerhotshot  2 роки тому

      Well it’s only a quarter at the tank opening the I have a reducer converting it to 3/8. It flows great the way it’s set up. I run my tank down to a quarter then flip it on and keep driving. Takes roughly 4 hours to fill back up while driving

      ​@@gingerhotshot (4) hours to fill....
      Turning it on?
      So you have to stop and turn the valve on?
      Or do you leave it on and it fills itself?
      Or do you have to manually turn it off and on?
      Thanks!
