etrailer | Beginner’s Guide to Installing the DeeZee Truck Bed Auxiliary Tank on a 2018 Ram 3500

[@williamtucker5855]

thanks for the video. How do you prevent the metal filings from getting into the fuel tank when you cut the pipe? thank you.

[@upinsmokedre420]

Do you have any fuel gauges that can monitor how much gas you have in the aux tank

[@etrailer]

Unfortunately, we do not.

[@xjdisuehd]

The easier way to do is go into the chipset that manages the fuel tank levels and change the fuel tank size to the existing tank + aux fuel tank, and the remaining fuel as fuel consumed from mileage and distance.

[@davidbrown6752]

Why don't you use rubber garment around the hose which the fuel line is going to for safety also why not use higher quality fuel line as braided. You could note accessory options for lockable caps to stop people from stealing. You did not talk about how the fuel will stop flowing when the tank is full not to overflow out the cap.

[@dennisprow7576]

Is the install the same for 2023 3500?

[@etrailer]

The tank isn't vehicle specific, so the general procedure shown in the video would apply to most vehicles. www.etrailer.com/Truck-Tool-Box/DeeZee/DZ91752X.html

What keeps the fuel over filling the main tank?

[@etrailer]

There isn't anything built into the system to prevent that. You'd open that valve provided with the # DZ97960 connector kit, and observe the truck's gas gauge. When the fuel level approaches full, you'd then close the valve. Not a very sophisticated system, but it works. We hope that answers your question for you! www.etrailer.com/Truck-Tool-Box/DeeZee/DZ91752X.html www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/DeeZee/DZ97960.html

Get an electric fuel pump for 30 bucks from oreillys, install it in line with a toggle switch. Fill on the fly. I just don’t know if the pump will let fluid pass while it is off.

[@nathanwilson2194]

@@tommyweese5697 had this idea as well with a 12v low pressure fuel pump 4-7 psi. Was wondering same thing if the pump internally shuts off flow when electricity is turned off by aux switch.

Do you have a link for this tank?

[@etrailer]

You betcha! Here it is: www.etrailer.com/Truck-Tool-Box/DeeZee/DZ91752X.html

[@robeborja4410]

Sorry is 1/2 or 3/4

[@jairobravo-vq6qe]

What size coupler is that

[@etrailer]

Which coupler are you speaking of?

[@kevintheclassicman2578]

Can I reroute it to the fuel line instead of main tank?

[@dandonovan4219]

i was going to ask a ? but it doesn't look like they answer.

[@etrailer]

I''ll respond Dan! I promise! But you're right, we definitely let Tom and Kevin down when they asked for our help.

[@tomharrison6573]

size of bolts?

[@etrailer]

Ryan, our installer, said he used 7/16 bolts.

[@davidjohnson5856]

No vent?

[@etrailer]

The DeeZee # DZ91752X Diesel fuel tank is vented through the fill cap. The cap will vent at 4 psi per DeeZee. www.etrailer.com/Truck-Tool-Box/DeeZee/DZ91752X.html
