I have a buddy, that want to install a 35 gallon external diesel tank, all I need is a pump & a little money for his labor, I'm wondering if it'll take too much room in my long-bed truck & if I can make it where no one can steal the diesel out of it

 

OK but why

 

He has it in his garage collecting dust, so he told me he'll install it in my truck, Would my truck lose value if it has this tank in the bed

 

it would only lose value if you sell the truck with the tank empty, with it full it will add at least $140 to the value of the truck.

 

If the thieves see all that diesel in one spot they might try and drag your truck away, then you'd have to shoot them

 

I have a VIPER ALARM on my truck, I already had my rear bumper & tailgate stolen Too bad I didn't catch them

 

The reason I say that, cause my truck will no longer be a long-bed with that tank in the bed

 

Unless you're doing a lot of long distance driving I really don't see any sense in it, but whatever floats your boat.

 

No, it will still be a long bed, it will just have a fuel tank mounted in it. Now if you take the long bed off and put a short bed on and put the tank between the cab and bed, then yes it will no longer be a long bed and yes it will devalue the truck.

 

What are the dimensions on the tank. My flatbed has a 75 on it and my future brother in-law has a 109 L tank and these don't really take up too much of the beds. I'm fixing to put the a 100gal L tank and tool box on the 06. As far as people stealing fuel im gonna set mine up so my filler bung and pump are inside the tool box
