Truck Transfer Tanks

Truck transfer tanks make mobile refueling simple, safe, and efficient. Mounted in a pickup bed or service body, these tanks carry diesel, gasoline (select models), or DEF so crews can fuel equipment, generators, and vehicles without a trip to the station. That means less downtime, longer range between fills, and better control of fuel quality and costs for construction, agriculture, landscaping, and overlanding.

Popular capacities range from 30 to 110+ gallons, with low‑profile, L‑shaped, and rectangular footprints to fit short beds, work trucks, and fifth‑wheel setups. Material choices include lightweight corrosion‑resistant aluminum, rugged powder‑coated steel, and polyethylene for DEF. Internal baffles reduce slosh, while lockable caps, rollover vents, and integrated tie‑downs keep loads secure. Many pair with 12V pumps delivering 8–15 GPM, auto‑shutoff nozzles, and particulate or water‑separating filters to protect engines.

Combination transfer tank and toolbox units maximize bed space, giving you secure storage for hoses, nozzles, and tools. Quick-connect hoses, grounding cables, and filter heads speed setup and maintenance. Some models are DOT-compliant for on-road transport; verify ratings, intended fuel type, and local regulations.

How to choose: 1) Match capacity to daily burn rates and payload limits. 2) Pick a footprint that clears bed ribs, tonneau covers, and gooseneck hitches. 3) Select material for weight, corrosion resistance, and budget. 4) Choose pump flow to suit your fleet; higher GPM shortens fueling stops. 5) Add filtration and water-absorbing media for cleaner fuel. 6) For DEF, use dedicated, contamination-free tanks and components.

Safety matters. Use only with fuels specified by the manufacturer; many tanks are diesel-only. Bond and ground during transfer, park on level ground, chock wheels, and keep fire extinguishers within reach. Inspect fittings, hoses, and vents regularly, and replace filters as scheduled. With the right truck transfer tank, your pickup becomes a fueling station that keeps work moving.
