BCI Fabrication 50 Gallon Fuel Transfer Tank Toolbox Combo Model FTB50-10
Not DOT Approved
The pioneering product that started it all at BCI Fabrication! This marks the genesis of BCI Fabrication, and it remains an enduring best-seller. Presenting a 50-gallon tank seamlessly fused with a 10” tall toolbox, it's the ultimate solution for short-bed pickups seeking both ample fuel capacity and expansive storage. Engineered to snugly fit between the fender wells, the toolbox elegantly perches above. Considering most pickup beds measure approximately 24” in depth and 63” in width, this combination guarantees exceptional functionality without compromising the truck's aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, enhanced security is an added perk; what they can't see, they're less inclined to tamper with.
Warning: Proper Use of Transfer Tanks
To ensure safety and optimal performance, do not fill your transfer tank to 100% capacity. Transfer tanks require sufficient headspace to allow for fuel expansion and vapor buildup. Overfilling the tank can lead to:
-
Fuel Leaks: Excess fuel may escape through vents or seals, posing safety and environmental risks.
-
Increased Pressure: Without adequate space for vapor, pressure buildup can damage the tank or connected systems.
-
Compliance Issues: Overfilled tanks may violate local or federal regulations for fuel transport.
Safe Filling Recommendations
- Fill the tank to 90% of its capacity to allow room for fuel expansion.
- Use proper venting systems and check all connections for leaks before transport.
- Follow all local, state, and federal guidelines for the storage and transport of fuel.
By adhering to these precautions, you can ensure the safe and reliable use of your transfer tank while protecting your vehicle, environment, and compliance with regulations.
