We recently took delivery of a 2024 Momentum 351 toy hauler and a 2024 GMC Denali diesel to tow it. Because we carry an electric golf cart the auxiliary fuel tank is useless to us with regard to it’s intended purpose. However, I would like to be able to carry extra diesel for the truck.
Today I removed the fuel filler neck and modified it to accept diesel fuel nozzles.( I understand that the tank manufacturer, ECI, actually makes a diesel filler neck but I have had a difficult time getting a price so decided to modify my existing filler neck)
I ordered an in-line combination particulate/water diesel filter which I will mount at the pump outlet. I also ordered two 20 foot 3/4 inch fuel hoses and the appropriate cam lock fitting to easily connect them together and to the to the existing fuel hose. This will provide plenty of length to reach the fuel fill on the truck when it is hooked to the truck. I also ordered caps and plugs for the extra hoses to prevent dust and dirt from entering them when they are stored. Total cost was about $250.
This will give us a total of 66 gallons of available diesel fuel for longer trips. Not only were the parts much less expensive than the cost of installing a larger aftermarket tank but the additional weight of the extra fuel will be carried by the trailer axles rather than the truck.
I will update when I receive the parts and get them assembled.
