      That is actually a good question. I have never done it but it’s the same concept as me switching driver and passenger seats. I would have to look

      Hello. I have the same question. I need to install a smaller tank on the passenger side but can only find smaller driver side tanks. Please help, thanks.

    I have a heavy straight truck that I want to use for longer distances. Is it legal to switch my current fuel tank out for a larger one?

      Absolutely not just bare in mind it will change your empty weight so will lower what you can axel but your gvwr will remain the same. Go for it!

    Would have been a good idea to add another strap and a bigger fuel tank.
    I had 100 gallons on both sides of mine and added 150s
    And i would never buy a brand new fuel tank either. Jesus thats a steep price

      I have a heavy long flatbed straight truck that I want to use for longer distances. Is it legal to switch my current fuel tank out for a larger one? Do I have to worry about DOT regulations etc.? Thanks

    Jesus, not polishing that aluminum tank to a mirror finish before installing should be a crime.

      Truth. But gotta keep in mind most the drivers are steering wheel holders so these are just the fleet trucks. My Peterbuilts are a diff story
