Refueling
Background - used to have a dually with a diesel transfer tank and now own a gas HD truck. I don't want another transfer tank and not not sure how to refuel now that I can't go through the truck stop ...

Dunno. My old '78 short bed gasser only had a 16 gal tank. I added another 16 gal aux tank on the other side, with a manual switch to change over. Worked great for me for a lotta years. Truck before that was a '74 2500 long bed. IT only had a 16 gal tank and, with 4.10 gears, even when not towing, only got about 16-17 mpg. I was in school at UC Davis and it was a 5-stop trip to from PHX to get there. That was when the limit was 55, too, so it was loooong days. With the '78, it was a 2-stop trip.
