Does anyone worry about the weight of carrying all that extra fuel, at about 7lbs per gallon?
My auxiliary fuel tank is 40 gallons, and I don't think an extra 280 lbs. will put me over the limit with my dually. But I do wonder about these 100 gallon tanks that add over 700 lbs. to the vehicle weight.
my dually GVWR is 13,000lbs.. the rear axle weight rating is 9000lbs.
with my FW hitched up, and 1/2 full, at the scale the rear axle weight was 6660.. so I have room for 2340lbs more. the front & rear total was 11,900. so for gvwr I still have 1100lbs to go. the 60*7 lbs added weight 420 + 65 for the tank still leaves room. the truck GCVWR is 30,000.
