Are you able to get 58 gallons in your tank or perhaps more? The 106 gallon JohnDow I have takes about 106.5 gallons so I hope the new in bed tank holds the advertised 58 gallons. That's almost two tanks for my Ford which will increase my range to around 1,500 miles.Once you get that new tank you will really appreciate it. I keep mine in the bed of my pickup truck and refuel the tractor and the pickup from there.
I bought mine last May because I had two trips planned back east and the fuel cost savings from both of those trips paid for the cost of the fuel tank. Since Diesel in Washington State was anywhere from $1.50 to $2.00 more per gallon than anywhere East of here I was able to my fuel stops where I could get the best price. I saved quite a bit of money by tracking the cost of fuel where I wanted to stop to refill.
The convenience of having enough fuel on hand to plan a refill when prices are better is a big plus for my budget. Also, the no muss/no fuss of being able to pump fuel with the convenience of a fuel nozzle exactly like the gas station makes the purchase well worth the while.
I've had the 106 gallon JohnDow for a few years but it's a palava taking it to the fuel station. Once the new tank is in the bed of the truck I can fill it up and then offload the fuel into the larger tank in the garage. I'd have to do that twice but it's an easy way to get fuel home.
