Hm now if others would catch on it would be awesome.

We installed a transfer flow tank to get us some extra miles.
We have 36 below and 50 gallons in the bed.

Makes it so much easier when towing our 5th wheel.

I dont see it? Carrying around another 500 pounds, cost, letting it get contaminated with moisture, all for what? Save three cents at the pump? Drive an extra 300 miles? My backside is ready for a break after 300 miles, and there is always fuel available in that distance. Except maybe on the ice roads of northern Canada.

We figure we can go 300 to 350 towing on our 35 gal tank. If we are on an interstate, driving 60 to 65 true average 55. 350/55 = 6.3 hours. That is more driving than my bladder can go, so why give up payload, for the extra miles?

If you don't want the weight don't fill up. I like to camp in remote areas and extra fuel is always welcome in that scenario. Or this summer when we went through Nevada on our way to southern California - the ability to carry additional fuel is great when you're in the middle of nowhere.

As long as there aren't too many compromises in terms of packaging a large tank in the undercarriage I see no disadvantages to additional capacity.
