Howdy Jason, The 90 gal RDS in-bed tank is like $700 + $69 for the fuel fill kit. The 60 gal is a $100 cheaper. If your like me and don't use the bed for hauling stuff when not towing then a in-bed type should be fine. Not as cool as the built in frame install type but half the cost. I'm hoping I can find a place local that sells the RDS tanks so I can save a little on shipping. The thought of making it over a 1000 miles without stopping at a gas station is pretty awesome. Much less when I see a cheap price, I'll be filling up
keep ya posted........


Call RDS and ask them for a local dealer. I had one here local and I was able to get my tank without paying shipping by just waiting for his regular bi-weekly shipment to arrive. Saved me a $100. My 72118 tank cost me about $550 IRC, with tax.

Don't depend on Northern Tools to have the tank you want - at least the on in Chattanooga, TN. And, as far as I know, NT won't let you order and then ship to their store.

Good luck.

I currently run a 60 gallon RDS combination aluminum tank in my F350 dually with manual gravity feed. I cannot leave my isolation valve open all the time without bringing in fuel sensor failure codes. The computer thinks with a full tank all the time the fuel sensor has failed. When towing I can leave it open while pulling but about every other tank I have to turn off the valve and let the gauge work. I understand that Dodge does not have this problem and is limited to the way Ford's fuel computer works. It is wonderful to have 99 gallons of fuel capacity on board while travelling and relieves stress having to search for fuel stops that my large fiver will fit in. It is an excellent product, works great and took about an hour or less to install.
