on board bov fuel

[Wulf202]

I run a powerstroke f250 long bed. Considering on board fuel options. Figured I'd post it here for fun.

Basically I have a 36 gallon tank.

I can add an in bed 36 gallon tank for $200 and tap into my fill neck allowing gravity refill.

I can add a 100 gallon l tank with a pump for $600.

I can add a crossover box for 5gallon cans for $100

I could possibly add a 36 gallon tank from a f450 but id have to relocate the spare

I use my bed for general contracting and this is my bov. My generator is diesel also

Opinions?

For me what would make sense would be the in bed tank and a pump.For one if you have a diesel generator you can fill it via the pump.meaning an external pump like some guys have to refill heavy equipment.You could also tap in to the regular fuel tanks as well so you don't have to get out and fill your own truck.

Some of the tanks I have seen take up about as much space as a tuck toolbox that goes across the back wall of the bed by the rear window.

I would look at the F450 tank swap, there are lots of spare mounting options, and the bed tank with the pump.

Good thing I am spending your money

I looked at getting a spare tank for my V10 F250 but the costs were enormous.

Thank you for posting up other options for me, the only issue I have with a bed mount tank is the loss of bed space.

Why swap one 36 gallon tank for another 36 gallon tank? I'm not tracking.

I believe it would be in addition to his factory tank.

When I get time ill add some pics.

One of my issues with the 100 gallon L tank is the weight. Along with bed loss. But it'd give me 2k miles of range.

I'm not a scientist by any stretch but wouldn't that kind of added weight have a serious effect on MPG ?

A little. If it is anything like my truck 800 lbs in the bed will not change the highway MPG by much as long as it is not in the wind.
