If yes, which brand and what are the pros and cons ?
Thanks in advance

There's a thread here somewhere showing an install of an auxiliary tank. There's a company in Australia that makes them.

Ya it's $$ and takes a lot of work, great youtube vid of it. It is a nice set up but was like 3k+ installed not counting the exh work.

I'm planning on a custom in bed tank, be 18-20 gal, 48W*6D*17H, should tuck up against the bed nicely and not take up to much space being 6=7" deep only.

Keep us posted there. That was my plan as well and could even cover with bedliner so it blends right in

Is petrol gasoline?

If so, yes.

17 gallon aluminum mounted against the front of the bed.

Unfortunately Verizon 5G sucks more ass than all of Congress cumulatively so I can't post a picture.

I installed the same pre-production tank that you have in our JTR.

Is it a fuel cell type gasoline tank or just a box like a diesel type?

Using a diesel type bed or deck tank with gasoline gives DOT the willys (willis?!) in a bad way.

it is a welded aluminum tank, 17 gallons , DOT is not concerned with anything under 20 gallons. You can find them on ebay listed as "racing fuel cells" I wrapped it in reflectix insulation, armored it with .125" Kydex, and strapped it to L Track rail with 1.5"x .125" mild steel strapping. It has a roll over valve that is vented to a home brewed charcoal canister, with is vented out of the bed using a draft/venturi tube.

I've posted some pictures here before I "upgraded" to 5G which crippled my ability to share pics. I try not to harbor malice but I hope the Verizon engineers finger punches through the toilet paper every time he wipes his ass for the rest of his life.
