Any insight on adding a secondary gas tank to a gas vehicle?
I know your asking about aux. tanks,However diesels have the advantage of being able to use aux. tanks. Aux. tanks for gasoline are generally illegal and unavailable. Diesels also have a greater fuel range which means you can go farther on a tank of gas. With a diesel you can fuel up at trucks stops when towing, and avoid tiny gas stations and the anxiety that comes with finding a station you can fit into.
Lastly all modern diesels now come with exhaust brakes, that really make a difference when towing in the mountains.
This is a bit of an untruth. There are plenty of DOT certified transfer tanks and while local regulations may differ, the states I've been in DO allow for it.
A person's comfort hauling a large qty of gas in a transfer type tank may vary, but it is legal and it is done regualrly.
Mfgs make DOT certified transfer tanks for gas. Recreational trailer mfgs make trailers like towyhauler S and motorsports trailers with built in gas tanks and pumps.
I'm not advocating or speaking against it, just stating the facts.
Do you consider an Auxiliary tank and a transfer tank the same thing?
I believe there is a difference. They are treated differently by the regulators as well. My comments refer to Aux. tanks.
