Hi Lineman,
Mind if I ask what tank you went with? I'm half-heartedly looking for one for a 2024 GMC 3500.
Also, do you smell the gas all the time, or just when filling the tank and/or the truck?
Thanks,
TNFiver
Northern tool, RDS 45 gallon aluminum dimond plate transfer tank. Model #71083 $850. Then shipping cost. Pump is about $400 for a gas rated one, it is said to be different than a diesel but looks the same. I just put a cheap filter inline, with a napa gas filter. Then the auto shut off filler isnt cheap either.
Smell, very little, as it has to breathe, that is what that brass part is, it has a ball for rollover. I currantly have it vented with a clear hose to the lower bed. This summer ill vent through the bed with gasoline hose and a rubber grommet in the bed. No liquid ever comes out. No more smell than when i open the fuel filler door to the pickup.
Gas and diesel ( legal ) tanks are not the same, but a gas can be used for diesel or aviation fuel. Diesel vents through the filler cap, gas is tight, no venting, so needs that brass ball thingy.
I also use gas rated teflon tape on gas stuff, its yellow not white, and thicker. Not needed but why not.
I love it, it wasnt cheap, but well worth it when i can find non ethanol fuel ill load up, as well when prices go up an down, then it extends travel piece of mind a lot tripping empty or towing.
