RDS MFG INC72746 Fuel Tank

Description stated it was 90 gallons, turns out it’s 51. Tabs to secure tank are to close, bolts lean in and are slowly rubbing sides through. Amazon delivery doesn’t know the meaning of careful, the first tank I received had clearly been smashed in by a forklift. But they just taped it up and sent it off. The second one I received was also bent in, but just a little. Obviously that’s not the fault of the seller, but they should package them better. It doesn’t have any protection inside the thin cardboard box. Other then that, it is nice looking and is made here in America.

I ordered this tank through Amazon. Received it last night along with the install kit for my 2015 Ford F-250 super duty. It was delivered while I was out of town yesterday. Left on my deck by delivery man, so I wasn't able to inspect it. The cardboard box it came in was completely destroyed. The tabs on both sides that are welded on the bottom of the tank for mounting to the bed up pickup were poking out through the cardboard and both were bent. One was bent really badly. I tried bending it back, and it broke the weld. Luckily my brother in law is an aluminum welder...... After fixing bent tabs, I opened the toolbox to inspect the inside. Noticed that the lid to the toolbox was bent on both rear corners. Was able to hammer them both out so its unnoticeable. I'm sure when my item was packaged and shipped from rds, it didn't look like it had been thrown down a cliff, but it did when it arrived. Luckily, I was able to repair the damaged spots fairly easy. Not sure what a guy would have done if my brother in law wasn't a welder. After fixing everything, I installed the tank and kit with ease. I did opt to put the tank on a 20"x50" piece of conveyor belt, as I didn't want metal on metal. I had some Teflon material in my garage so I cut spacers to go under the tabs where you bolt it to the bed. From start to finish it took me and my daughters boyfriend less than an hour to have it installed and full of fuel. As for the toolbox/tank unit, I really like it. It's a good looking piece. Seems like it will work great. Time will tell.

Very bent up outside and where lid covers, welds broken ,bent up and in where fuel petcock goes in . WHEN YOU SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY YOU SHOULD GET UNDAMAGED GOODS !!!

Awesome addition to truck for extra fuel when hauling fifth wheel. Being able to fuel up when you decideinstead of having to when low on fuel is a great advantage while traveling. Would have been 5 stars iffuel check valve worked better.

Tank is not 90gal. This is a 51 gal tank. Is advertised as a 90gal tank and is not correct. Huge waste of time if you order this. You will receive this tank damaged. Do not purchase.

Good product at a fair price. Fairly easy install. Overall I recommend this product.I did one thing different than the install instructions said. There is an open vent (brass elbow with hose barb) on top of the tank. The manufacturer says to run a tube down to the frame and let any overflow run out on the ground. Diesel fuel is a greasy mess. I pull a travel trailer, so I didn't want to get any possible overflow spray going onto the trailer. I made a simple inclined "overflow catch" by spiraling the tubing upward with another elbow at the end (see picture). The tank is still open, but makes any overflow have to work pretty hard to escape. If any does get into the spiral, it just lets the fuel run back into the tank. I will update at a later date to see if this works to capture any overflow.

Nice box and tank setup. The mounting tabs are 1x1 thin angle and there are only 3. They are so small I had to flip the tank over and drill from the bottom. Hopefully they hold the tank down.

51 extra gallons of diesel fuel for my truck, it is great to choice where and when you want to fuel up at the best prices. Especially nice while towing my fifth wheel, because not all diesel fuel stations have easy access with a fifth wheel trailer connected. The tool box part is not very deep, but it is still large enough to hold quite a few things and everything that I need to bring with me.I wanted to add this addition to my original evaluation. I have been unable to put over 40 gallons of diesel fuel in the 51 gallon tank because it leaks. It seeps out the side between the tool box and the tank itself and runs down to the truck bed. It is not the the cap or breather. It is like a bad weld near the top part of the tank. As long as I don’t put in over 40 gallons it is okay.
