That is what the 07 classic chevy dually now has. Should be about a 1000 mile range. Got the RDS auxiliary tank installed this morning. Total install time, not counting the obligatory trip to Home Depot was two non-hurrying hours. I documented the installation with photos and will post them later (possibly tonight). Break time at the pool now, 85 degrees and a great day!
Bingo
Here are the installation photos with a brief narrative of the process:
First step was to drill holes (3/8") in the tank flanges to allow for the use of galvanized bolts to fasten the tank to the bed:
Next was to place the tank in the bed in it's installation position and mark the locations for drilling the bed floor. The tank was centered left to right and about a half inch was left on the cab side to prevent rubbing:
Holes were then drilled and the tank was bolted to the bed floor:
To start the actual plumbing, another hole was drilled and a grommet used to keep the hose from rubbing:
Fill spout hose was then cut with a utility knife to allow installation of the t-type coupling equipped with a valve to prevent overfilling of the OEM tank:
Finished view from beneath the truck:
And the finished view from the rear of the truck bed:
An interesting project that unexpectedly went as planned. Went to the local gas station and put ten gallons in the auxiliary tank to check for leaks, and we are now ready for extended trips with minimal fuel stops!!
