Fuel tank recommendation.
Hello, We just bought a Ford 2022 Diesel F350 KR crew cab short bed. I would like to add a external 40-50g slim tank on the bed behind the cab with gravity fill only. We will be towing a 5th wheel...

I've been starting my research in preparation for a cross country trip in a couple years. I just can't justify that much money for one of the in bed or replacement tanks. For less than $100 I can buy 3 5 gallon diesel jugs and keep them in the bed. Yes, I would obviously have to pull off the side of the road to refill, but for $900 in savings, that's not a problem for me.
I considered this approach. I even bought a 5 gallon can from HF and made a blow siphon. My ATI 46 gallon tank was around $500 with an electric transfer valve and switch. I installed it myself which was easy. In hindsight, I was glad I went with the permanent install because of the convenience. Remember, you will have to fill those jugs on the front end at the fuel station. and lift them out of your bed with the trailer attached.
