Titan spare tire replacement fuel tank

[Dalko43]

I got the titan tank for allot less than 2k. I like the idea of just pushing a button and transferring fuel into the main tank while driving down the road.

Are you planning on posting any writeup and/or pictures for the install? I'd be interested in seeing how it sets up for the Ram and where you end up putting the fuel door.

Why not mount a fuel cell? They are safe, inexpensive, and come in a ton of sizes.

Still takes up space and you need to figure out a way to transfer the fuel. I get that some people are turned off by the prices of Titan Tanks' options, but they're one of the few players in this part of the market and I do believe they're the only ones who use high-grade plastic on their tanks (I get the steel vs. plastic debate, but I do see the plastic tanks lasting longer in northern regions). So, to some degree, Titan is able to get away with charging higher prices.

Also, I don't see any safety issue with mounting a fuel tank behind the axle in a diesel vehicle. Some of the OEM C&C trucks have fuel tanks there. With a gasoline vehicle, I'd have more concerns putting a fuel tank in that location. Diesel is a lot less volatile than gasoline.

Good you found a solution. Just an FYI that AeroTank also makes tank replacements. They have several options and can do anything custom if you have the specs for it, or just give them the vehicle info. I plan to go their route (since Titan doesn't make a tank for my rig). 3 tanks = 100 gal.

Please do. I am anxious to see what you end up doing. I actually went last week to talk to a body man about a second factory filler door to be added behind the axle on the same side as the current factory fill. $450 for the bodywork and paint plus any OEM parts I want to use.

Easy decision there...

Yea, just not sure it is the direction I want to go yet. Interested to see what Explorerinil comes up with.

It won’t be near as clean as adding another factory fuel filter door... I like that idea.

Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Update: it’s at my buddies shop, today he should get it done. I wish I had time to tackle this project myself, with work and a child free time is hard to come by.

Good deal!

I look forward to seeing the pics.

Truck is not done yet, the decked storage system became kind of a pain if you want to mount the filler in the bed, the decked system had to be pulled out, trimmed and reinstalled. Should be done tomorrow and I’ll post some pics.

That is incredible. Stay safe up there. That is WAY colder than I ever want to see.
