I bought my Enduraplas 25 gallon transfer tank a few months ago. I've used it several times and it works great, actually better than I expected. I was a little leery of the auto shut off of the nozzle but it works. It is tough as nails and will go with me when I trade trucks at some point down the road, unlike the last 2 trucks I had with Titan replacement tanks.
When I bought my new Ford last year I was looking for something to supplement the 48 gallon tank it came with. With the extra 25 gallons, which takes about 3 or 4 minutes to empty when we stop for a break from driving, I can go further than I will ever drive in a day. Then I can unhook and go fill up where prices are maybe a little better.
One thing I did was run a dedicated fused wire from the engine compartment to the bed that I can just leave in place. I put a 2 wire connector on the wire from the truck and replaced the battery clips on the tank with a matching connector. I have the upfitter switches on my Ford and used one of them for the power.
One issue I have had is keeping it from moving around when full. I've used some heavy duty straps that work well when it is empty but tend to come undone when it is full of fuel. I now have it wedged in place with some 2X4's which works better than the strap.
Good to hear I was not the only one going the Endurplas route.
Also good to know it is working out for you. I have thought of installing a 12 volt connection in the bed.
I also have a 12 volt jump box that I was considering.I just filled my tank for the first time yesterday. I have yet to actually try it out. I had not considered it moving around more when full. My bed has lots of stuff in it so there is not a lot of room for it to move but I will keep an eye on it. Thanks for the insight.:C
