Sorry. I do not see anything in the OP that tells what fuel the pickup uses.
And it is a fact there are a lot of regulations, (impact protection, vaper recovery, whatever) that apply to gasoline tanks in vehicles. Most tanks sold to mount in bed are advertised diesel only to avoid the regulation.
For many, is it legal is a valid question.
Of topic, but kinda funny.
Contractor I did a lot of work for had a few weeks work, about 60 miles from home. I decided to leave 3 trucks on site, just sneak 1 into town every day for fuel. Contractor could not fuel all equipment on job with the transfer tank mounted on his truck, so we strapped a tank down in my tool truck.
One morning, I ran into a DOT check on my way in. When stopped, had 3 things on my mind; 1, likely over my licensed weight limit. 2, real close to limit on licensed distance from home. And 3, the straps holding that tank did not have a load limit label. LEOs 2nd question, behind DL, registration, and insurance, was "What kind of fuel in tank?" Now I'm not thinking about the step by his knees when I said "Dyed, off road diesel" He was mad when he stuck his wand in my gas tank, and the plastic dissolved. At the time I had a 460 in that old F500.
I want to hear the rest of the story.
