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.
