I have a 60 gal tank/toolbox combo in the bed and I use it as my main feed tank....the oem tank is now for storage and I transfer fuel from there.....................using the bed tank as feed works well cuz I have 1 psi of head pressure to the suction of my FassII

Thanks for the information guys! I am thinking I will definitely go with the Transfer flow 97 gal tank tool box combo. that way I have the storage too even though it will not be a lot...

Yeah, I have to remember all of the weight, but at the same time, I usually run illegal weights anyway, with the trees I haul I sometimes don't have a choice...

I was looking at the Transferflow 60 gallon, but it takes the place of the spare tire under the bed, and it will not fit with aftermarket exhaust, and I didn't want to keep the spare in the bed.
Needless to say I didn't get it, but wish I did.

I have the transfer flow toolbox/fuel tank combo. It is nice but I wish I would have replaced the factory tank with a larger one instead. I want to put a single stack on my truck but the transfer flow is in the way.
Pulling a trailer 1200 miles without stopping for fuel is nice. Plus you can drive past those overpriced stations
