That's what I use every time I fill up. For one, I don't want my hands smelling like diesel, but I also don't want them to smell like fuel additives.
I know what you mean. I started out carrying 5-gallon jugs. You can see one of the yellow jugs in the picture below. On this trip, we drove through Nevada where fuel is very limited, especially when towing. I soon learned that it was very inconvenient to carry and transfer fuel from jugs, especially using the double flap filler neck. We finally got the 40-gallon auxiliary fuel tank and that made things so much easier.
I used to put them on everytime I went outside, usually with work gloves over the top of them. The COVID panic made them expensive and harder to get. The prices are back down, but now I think about whether I really need them for what I have planned. I did learn, through it all, that I could wash with the nitrile gloves on and get more use out of them.
I try to reuse mine when I can. I remove them carefully and let them air out for the next time. It's a good way to save a little money when it makes sense to do so.
No, I have the gasser
Do you have a vent valve on top of the tank? If you don't, you should. It will fill up the other tank faster.I just had this custom-made slip tank for my truck built and installed in the back for my diesel. it has a gravity valve in it that allows it to fill up while you’re driving and it’s tied into my auxiliary three switch so it will not work when the truck is turned off. I’m just filling my tank while driving for the first time after putting 100 L into it and it’s slow as fuck. It’s taking over an hour and a half to go from an eighth of a tank to full but it works and that’s all I care about the tank should hold close to 120 L full and with the diesel that’s an extra two tanks of fuel.
That’s on a slip tank?I would guess that my auxiliary pumps are pumping approximately 1 gallon per minute. I've got a digital display that tells me roughly how full the tanks are. I've never timed it, but I'm guessing it would take 25 minutes to pump 25 gallons. Mine will auto fill once it gets down to about a 1/4 tank, or I can push the small red button to activate the pump. The pump will run for a set period of time unless I push the button a second time to shut the pump off.
That's correct. I have digital display on both trucks. The 2015 Ram EcoDiesel has a 40-gallon tank. The 2020 Ram EcoDiesel has a 37-gallon tank and toolbox combo. The pump transfers fuel directly to the OE tank.
Howes Diesel Treatment will help with fuel gelling up. I use it in the winter months in Canada for my diesel. You’ll note that it says to use a larger amount on a small tank (65 L or 18 Gallons for example) rather than a large tank would use (>350 L or 118 Gallons. The reason for this is large tanks like what’s used on tractors will have larger diameter fuel line and way larger engines. So the amount used to reduce the gelling effect from cold is far less! I typically use 45-55 ML (or 1.6-1.9 Fluid Ounces) per tank… Wrll I’m using Howes Meaner Kleaner in the warmer months, and that measurement is actually for it, not the Anti-Gel, but think you all can understand the comparison.
Evo manufacturing has a fuel cell mount where the spare tire goes. I'd like to see some pics of someone installing it.
