- Why the Transfer Flow Gas Tank? Well tune in to find out- ALSO - I haven't seen a single video of someone showing how they hooked theres up- only the bed install- These TANKS work great with the Upfitter switches and ill show you how the WHOLE SYSTEM WORKS!!!
Nice video. Thinking of doing the same thing. Do you know if you can still use a gooseneck or fifth wheel with the tank?
great question as I will most likely upgrade to a 5th wheel in the next 1-2 years and also thought about that- It appears that it should fit perfect as there's plenty of space between the tank and hitch mount location. long bed would prob give you a 100% guarantee yes- and I think depending on the 5th wheel mount you end up going with - it should fit like a glove. Ill do another video update once I do get a 5th wheel as I plan to have that tank there forever- if you send me a msg on Instagram, I can send you a picture of the hitch type bed mount I'm looking into for 5th wheels
@@thatoffroadfamily Thanks for the info. I have been researching everything I can find. Looking to get a tremor f-350 7.3 gas when the truck market ordering comes back. I want the gas engine and the tank would be the trick for long-range pulling. Most of the pics I have seen with the tanks installed, show them covering the factory fifth wheel prep package holes. Thanks for the info.
@@whit10mm72 HECK YEAH!!! thats what i have!!!! Send me a msg on my instgram - instagram.com/thatoffroadguy/?hl=en and ill send you a picture of my bed- it packed with stuff as we are doing a road trip across US right now- but i will find time to make sure i send you a picture if you send me a msg
Years ago I bought a Northern Tool “fuel n tool” auxiliary tank with a toolbox on top. Tank was 55 gallons. I took a trip out of town to buy something and on my way back stopped to fill up my F150 factory tank and auxiliary. I was on the farthest pump at a station I’d never been to. Filling the F150 tank, then the 55 gallon auxiliary tank took around 20 minutes. The young female clerk was quite puzzled by the amount of gas I was pumping into an F150 so I told her about the auxiliary tank. A few years later the gas tank in my F150 started leaking so I bypassed it and hooked up the auxiliary tank. I could drive the truck a long time with a 55 gallon tank.
YESSSS!!! so many benefits !!! thanks for sharing your experience
Thank you. I plan on doing this soon on my 23 F150 XL 5.0L 4x4 Supercab. It also has the 36 Gallon tank from factory. Going to be perfect for towing our travel trailer long distance!
That’s awesome you’re gonna love it, we went on a road trip across America last year (see my recent videos) and saved a ton of money, and never had to worry of running out either
@@thatoffroadfamily Just had it installed today, and got the fill rite nozzle with auto shut-off. Thanks for the idea!
@@OU8CARBS2 RIGHT ON!!!!! your gonna love it!!!! thanks for taking a moment to come back and update :)
Something like this is exactly what I am looking for. I too am getting an f350 with the 7.3. This will help me extend range towing my 5th wheel and help fuel the genny when I boondock. Super cool.
YESSSSS we took a 12k road trip with it, and we saved so much money gassing up in the cheap states and areas and growing through those high end gas stations off the freeway. we were toting the trailer I have the review video of on my channel I just posted. the Road Trip series is out now too, working on part 2
Might get this for my ram 2500 6.4 hemi. I’ve been searching for ways to extend range without stopping at gas stations. Looks like I’ve found my solution!
so awesome that this video helped another person out there with the same problem i once had!!! thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! Ive had it for a little over a year now and haven't had a single issue with it- Use it bi weekly to fill up the second car and get gas when i drive around and find a good low price- and of course to save a ton on trips and hassle of thinking of where to stop! Please come back and let me know how you like your set up! Follow me on Instagram - link in header.
Did you ever end up getting it I'm thinking of getting one for my 6.4 hemi as well
I also have a 2500 gasser and this video convinced me this is a good idea
@@alejandromonreal3250 sadly mds got me before I could get the delete done. Got an 07 ram 1500 now, still heavily considering in my current truck
You shirt at the end summed up in Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
thank you for watching till the end and commenting. AMEN AMEN!!!
"Gas is cheaper than diesel." Is a bit simplistic. My F150 gas got 17 mpg empty, and 4 mpg towing my 10k toy hauler l. My F350 diesel gets 15 mpg empty, and 13 mpg with the RV.
sure but at the same time- Im not towing a trailer 90% of the time. while Diesel does get more MPG by a few, it cost more a gallon not to mention def and other maintenance. WA where i live you cant even do a cat delete anymore
@@thatoffroadfamily I travel a lot for work, and live in the RV when I do, so I'm towing almost 100% of the time. Diesel engines also last longer, so you have to factor in the cost of buying a new truck twice as soon (assuming you don't wreck it before it starts breaking down too often to be useful anymore)
@@Necro-the-Pyro the US will ban gas and diesel before either of our trucks break down 😂
@@thatoffroadfamily they'll probably try, but I doubt they'll succeed. Too many industries rely on vehicles that can drive a long distance with a heavy load without stopping for 8 hours every 100 miles to charge their batteries.
Transferflow has a 58 gallon replacement tank that works on the 6.5 foot bed for the gas 7.3
I saw it, but I have more gallons this way since I keep my original tank and add 40. I also wanted to keep the ability to have a pump so I could retain the ability to fuel ppl and toys 🙌
@@thatoffroadfamily logic makes total sense!
Will it work on my 1992 f150 long box?
You can get a new nozzle with an auto stopper. Definitely worth it.
Which one did you get?
@@thatoffroadfamily I always recommend fill rite.
@@ColtonBlumhagen appreciate the input brotha!!
I am interested in one of these I also have a F350 7.3 SRW but I tow gooseneck/5th wheel and was hoping my generator could fit in the front of it next to it and I don't know if its possible
I’m interested in this as well. I have a smallish genny. I am going for the crew cab long bed f350 SRW. Already have a 5th wheel with a b&w companion hitch from my current truck.
Hope you're still trucking 350...I have 23 350 tremor...installing same transfer flow 40...how did you get the driver side front bolt installed??? Any underside pics available?? Hope you see this message 😮 great vid!
Thanks for reaching out brotha!!! love the 350!!! the 23's got a sick new front look along with other things!!! Congrats on the truck!! i send you a msg in instagram showing in detail on that placement of that drivers side bolt. Did you find that helpful?
I purchased a better built transfer steel tank for gasoline. I called the company they said do not put gas because it would explode from pressure build up . How did you manage this issue. I purchased a 100 gallon tank. Your feed back will be deeply appreciated.
So Better Built tanks are primary non flammable liquids only, I think that’s just their focus and a way to keep costs low. Their construction can’t handle the pressure of expanding gasses the way Transfer Flow does. I don’t believe that company makes tanks for gasoline. Even though their caps do have a vent just like Transfer Flow tanks. Transfer Flow tanks are DOT approved for both Diesel and Gasoline. In fact they send out a sticker for you to put on the tank to mark what fluid is in their in case there’s ever an emergency and it needs to be identified. I know that Transfer Flow uses 14 gauge aluminum vs 11 on Better Built which I’m sure is part of the reasoning of why they only do diesel. Ive had my tank now for over a year now- we took the truck with it installed form WA to FL on a road trip and back last summer and we spent most of our time in the south heat of TX, AZ, and FL and we had absolutely zero issues with it. Its pretty amazing! I never filled it up to the very top when I was in 90+ degree weather, but did have most of the capacity filled and zero issues with heat. In addition to the cap having a vent, there’s also a vent with tube on top that you route out of the bed.
Just came across your channel and subscribed. I have the same setup as you. When you went into the upfitter switch did you use a second switch for the purge wire?
Thanks for taking a moment to leave a comment and thanks for the sub!!!! I did not use a 2nd switch. Just went direct into the dedicated upfitter section under the hood with the wires and connected it there and then isolated it. Am i understanding that right?
@@thatoffroadfamily Yes. after reading instructions and using some common sense got it wired to number one upfitter switch and works great. Thank you.
I have mine hooked up to my up fitter switch no one can steal your fuel
YES!!!! same!!!! love the Upfitter switches-nobody even knows that I have a gas tank cause its under my bedcover :D well nobody buy you guys lol
I have been looking for tanks like this and have a few brands in mind but keep coming back to this 40gal setup. Only thing I am concerned about is my truck is a midsize pickup crew cab with a 5.5ft bed not a full-size. Would this setup fit properly?
this tank will fit any bed :) Its width is perfect, the only thing is you would then only have room for about 3ft of your bed, which is fine if you only use it once in a while and dont haul larger items or plan to haul larger items.
I'm looking to add a transfer tank to my 2022 f350 7.3L. ATI makes a 50 gal tank that is DOT for gas. Good dimensions in the bed and with the 5th wheel. I can also get it for $624 shipped. I'm going to plumb it to direct fill the gas tank vs a pump handle. I don't want to have to stop haha. I know I need an outlet hose from top of tank to a pump and filter, then a return hose to the top of the tank. I also might need to T into the breather hose? I'm a little unclear on this one. But all in all, I think I can get it together for less than $700. Any thoughts on this? Or have you happened to find a good resource on this info?
dang thats a good price!!! almost half the price of mine and is 50 vs 40 gal. BUT, for me I wanted to make mine a transfer vs auxiliary because I also pump gas into my other daily car when I get super cheap gas for the truck and just load it up. and your not allowed to have a pump on it If you connect it to the truck gas tank. so I guess its preference. I did a little research on connecting it to the current system but sounded like way too much to deal with so I ended up with transfer tank instead. But here's the forum I was reading that was half for auxiliary tank : www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1571278-auxiliary-fuel-tank-setup.html
Good vid, I'm looking at an aux tank as a transfer, what laws are you referencing that makes it illegal? What state are you in?
Yes such a great upgrade!! Thanks for watching and taking a moment to comment. I live in WA- here if you add a pump to the tank its considered a transfer tank and can not be connected to the fuel line of the truck. If it’s used as Auxiliary tank (aka no pump) then your allowed to connect to the fuel line and in essence if you use a kit you wouldn’t ever have to stop for 700-800 miles, since it would be using both fuel tanks in conjunction.
Im almost certain gas tanks are only allowed as transfer tanks. Only diesels can use aux tanks that are connected to the main fuel. Maybe thats california law only, but thats what i know about this stuff. Most of the manufacturer websites state the gravity fed tanks are diesel only
Jumper cables 12 volt car battery problem solved rewire the switch to jumper cables
I have been shopping around for a gas-rated transfer tank, and it looks like this one is one of the few out there that are rated for gasoline. I'm really, really tempted to put this in my F350 for the exact reasons that you are, but it does make me nervous to carry around this much extra gas. It seems like you have used this for at least a while -- how are you feeling about things from a safety perspective?
Also, I see a black hose going out of that tank vent -- are you venting it out of the bed out of one of those plastic grommets toward the front of the bed?
Thanks for your thoughts.
yes I've been running it for a year and don't have any safety worry. its usually about 3/4 full- while not traveling i use ti to fuel up the other car at home when i come across cheap gas or Costco. I have zero problems with it and use it on a biweekly basis. pump works flawless and no leaks. yes you are right on point on that tank vent, I have it going out the grommet. It helps a ton with ventilation, but i still do get a wift of it here and there when i open the bed cover sometimes.
@@thatoffroadfamily I can't decide for myself if the comfort of having so much extended range would be outweighed by the worry of the volume of gas. My other idea is to look into one of the OEM underbelly tank replacements that it looks like TransferFlow sells, but I'd for sure want a shop to install that damn thing. It looks like TransferFlow makes a good product.
Do you have a video about your smaller Jerry can set up on the left side of the bed?
I don’t want a full transfer tank in my pickup, but just the ability to carry extra gas sort of out of the way
i dont have a video of that yet because currently they are just held by a bungee cord, But ROTOPAX makes a great bedrail mount for its cans that i used for YEARS on my Tacoma. But there are a bunch of mounts out there that do a better job for sure than my bungee cord !!! Im getting a different bed cover soon at which point i will be getting some better mounting options too! Will def create a video at that time
Diesels can be connected to the fuel system, but gas can't by law, necessitating your way.
should of explain how to use the switch I have a 2019
Any confirmation on if this will leave enough room for 5th wheel in a short bed? Boy would I love to do this in my 2022 7.3L F350 Lariat. We have a travel trailer now, but the 5th wheel is in the future plans...
We have the exact same truck!!!!! :D in LOVE!! check out my Instagram for more pics :) but to answer your question:
I too will most likely upgrade to a 5th wheel in the next 1-2 years and also thought about that- It appears that it should fit perfect as there's plenty of space between the tank and hitch mount location. Also I've heard of a swing hitch I think Thye called it, where the 5th wheel is attached a little further back and has more swing room. With that I think its even further back so you would for sure be able to have a 5th wheel. Ill do another video update once I do get a 5th wheel as I plan to have that tank there forever.
I just installed the transferflow 58 replacement in my F350, it was a Easy install and the kit is very well designed. I didn't want to give up bed space
Why is your mpg so bad? Gas?
I like your set up, but I can’t seem to find where to buy one. If you could let me know where I can look one up. Thank you.
you bet- i bought direct through them : www.transferflow.com/shop
I have old diesel in one. How should I clean it?
LInk to purchase one is needed.....
What mfg/brand/company did you buy yours from
I got mine direct from Transfer Flow cause their shipping was 4 months sooner than the one i found at third party which was quoting me 6 months at the time. I wanted to get this done before we hit our road trip across America so i paid a few hundred more to get it sooner. I had it within a few weeks, the tank ran me $1700 and $213 for shipping- no tax.
Ya but the mileage offsets that
The difference in fuel costs? Gotta remember maintenance and def fluid.
Tayota??!!!😂😂😂
Talk way too much!!! Hardly showed anything but himself.
if i talk way too much, feel free to find another
video talking about the tank install. everyone else found it helpful besides you it seems...
@@thatoffroadfamily I sure did !!!! Your video was a complete waste of time. Don't quit your day job.
@@michaelpipkin2660 funny guy- media is what I do on the side! My main job is running multiple successful businesses- so stop wasting your time coming back to comment lol
@thatoffroadfamily Your right!!! you are a waste of time. Small fry.
more fuel more miles
