Anyone have one or can you recommend one? Would appreciate a link or pic posted with details where to buy. Thanks!

PACKNRAT - For me there are 2 main advantages to getting one of these tanks -
1. I don't have to start thinking about where to get fuel after I've driven for only a few hundred miles. I've been in parts of this country where you definitely need to be aware of the distances to the nearest fuel station. With my 900 mile towing range, I can drive for 3 days without looking for fuel if I want to. Or take a weekend excursion and then buy fuel at my local known-quality station when I get back.
2. A longer range allows me to drive right through states that have higher taxes then their neighbor states. Just 2 weeks ago I planned a fuel stop in South Carolina because of their cheaper fuel prices (Gas Buddy is my new best friend !). Also allows me to skip stations that don't do much volume which I might have to choose if I didn't have the aux tank. I always favor stations that pump high volumes of diesel fuel as generally the fuel quality is better.
I do understand that I probably won't save enough money in cheaper fuel prices to pay for the tank - #1 above is most important to me.
I still pull into rest stops, etc, for lunch and bladder breaks. I don't have a 900 mile bladder either !
