  1. Do you have the install kit for 2004 Chevrolet Truck (gas) K-1500

    Someone said install kit # 3490902 was needed for their truck. What does this kit fit? Do I need this kit or another?

    1. Our auxiliary conversion kit item #3490902 will work with 1999 to 2010 Chevy trucks with a 2" fill line. If your truck has a 1-1/2" fill line, you will want to use our item #3490901.

      Helpful?

    2. Item 3490902 will work with any passenger truck line up through 350 or
      3500 vehicle. Current Model Year.

  2. Is this ok for gasoline

    1 answer

    1. This RDS 51-gallon Auxiliary Fuel Tank Toolbox Combo (Model 72746) is not intended for gasoline.

      Helpful?

  3. Will this kind of tank stop filling on it's own once it gets the OEM tank filled? For example driving down the road would I have to stop to turn shut off valve to off position? So it don't overfill my OEM tank?

    1 answer

    1. With the appropriate diesel installation kit, item 3490901, item 3490902 or item 43748, there is a check valve in the "T" line that goes to the existing tank. It will shut off the auxiliary tank. The most important thing to prevent leaking is to be sure the main gas cap is on tight.

      Helpful?

  4. Does this model have a locking cap?

    1 answer

    1. The auxiliary fuel tank/toolbox combo does not have a locking fuel cap. The tool box itself would be locked.

    1 answer
