(Photo courtesy of RDS) mounted fuel tank available with toolbox combinations is the auxiliary tank. These tanks are generally plumbed into the vehicle's factory fuel system, essentially acting as a second tank for the vehicle. Some versions allow the op- tion of an external pump, hose and nozzle for refueling of offboard equipment. Most auxiliary tanks include a dash-mounted switch that allows the operator to select which tank the truck draws fuel from, and the factory in-dash fuel gauge TOOL BOXES: COMBO TOOL/FUEL Cattleman Fuel/Tool combination boxes use a dual-purpose design: lock pump and hoses are in one compartment. Tools go in another (most models). Each tank bolts to truck bed and is equipped with baffles to limit sloshing and rocking of fluids. These boxes are built of sturdy, 11-gauge steel or diamond plated steel and finished off with a smooth black glossy powder-coated finish. Twin stainless steel hook-style locking latches keep gear secure. Lockable pump storage and vented fuel caps are optionally available. Fuel/tool combo boxes are available in 38, 50, 65, 102, or 105 gallon models. Pumps, hoses are not included and diesel tanks are the transfer type only and sold without caps and plugs. http://cattlemanhd.com.
