Aluminum or Plastic aux fuel tank

I use a pump to transfer system, the capless fuel tank can leak with the gravity fill.

For an in bed tank. my preference is aluminum.

I would agree with AL over Plastic as well however caution.

Heaven forbid there is an accident and fire... Liability attorneys love aux fuel tanks. .

We are talking Diesel not Gas.

I have a Enduraplas 25 gallon aux. tank. Very simple solution

Looks like a quality product. Enduraplas 25-gal. Poly Diesel Tanks $951.99

Personally I want to keep my bed height 30" front to back HighwayProducts Tool Box and may go with the TITAN 55 replacement tank for around $1,300

Not anymore than a factory system with a cap.
Either the inline check valve in a gravity system is working or it leaks. Nothing to do with the OE system.

It’s personal presence I suppose. My preference would be an aluminum tank. Or steel since it will be protected from the elements and cost less than the other options.

Any negatives on a Titan Trekker top fill with a pump?

Any issues with the quality of RDS aluminum? It seems simpler to install.

On the Titan, it is my understanding that you fill the main tank 5g at a time and that can take 20-30min. That could mean filling two tanks at the pump. Any work around?

I am leaning towards the Titan because it gives me more bed space and I can carry two bikes upright on my bed. I am just concerned about the process of filing the main tank.
