But for a gasoline tank, I haven't found anyone that makes the plumbing to connect an auxiliary gas tank to the stock tank. And I haven't found anyone that makes a bigger replacement gasoline tank.

ATF makes auxiliary gas tanks, but not the plumbing required to connect the auxiliary tank to the stock tank.

www.transferflow.com is famous for making all sorts of various ways to increase the gallons of diesel you can carry. Bigger replacement stock tanks, in-bed auxiliary tanks, in bed combo toolboxes/diesel tanks, but nothing for gasoline.

So I gave up and decided to have my dealer install the OEM 36-gallon tank from a 4x4. Parts are on order. Looks like about $1,100 out the door - maybe $1,200 including the Governor's share.
The problem is the new OBDII systems and emissions requirements. Have you noticed how all the new portable gas cans do not have a seperate vent, this is to stop polution from evaporation. Our trucks all have a closed loop EVAP system, thats he reason you will get a check engine ligt if your gas caps not installed right after a fill up.You would most likely end up with an EVAP code in the computer if you were to try and install any sort of auxillary tank with gravity feed. I am shure it could be done but you'd have to include the EVAP system in with it and all.
