The problem with adding a fuel tank to the bed of your truck is the added weight of 90 gallons of diesel. With your pin weight will you still be within the load limits of your rear axles?

I don't own a fiver yet so can't truly answer this, but with a Rear GAWR of 9,750 pounds and a payload of 5,680 pounds I'd guess the 630 pounds of the 90 gallons of diesel (7.1 pounds per gallon) won't be a problem for most set ups/trailers

How hard is it to install one of these tanks? I've been wanting to pull the trigger for a while but I'm not sure exactly how difficult of a task I'm signing up for.
From what I can tell and read from the install instructions and watched on YouTube, not too hard. The one part I think I need to figure out is when you have to cut the main fill tube to splice in the instal kit how do you cut it with out getting shavings to fall back in the tube or tank?
