Poly Fuel Tank Mounts In Pickup Bed
“As far as we can tell, it’s the first (military grade) cross-linked polyethylene tank on the market,” says Ken Anderson, manager for Titan Fuel Tanks in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
That means no cracked welds on a tank stressed from traveling over rough terrain on oilfields, farms and ranches. The 1/4-in. thick poly eliminates condensation and doesn’t corrode like steel tanks. At 51 lbs., it’s light enough for one person to install. All hardware is aluminum or zinc-plated.
The design of the 60-gal. tank accommodates a variety of needs. It has tie downs to secure a payload hauled behind it, and fits under a Tonneau cover. Titan offers options such as a pump to fill fuel tanks on other equipment or a toolbox that fits over the top of the fuel tank.
“Our biggest customers are farmers and construction folks,” Anderson says. “And we sell a lot of our products to oilfield workers and people who pull horse trailers.”
Titan started by selling oversize replacement fuel tanks that fit under pickups in 2004 and just added the in-bed tank last year.
The response has been good, Anderson says.
The tanks are covered by a 5-year warranty and start at about $1,500. They can be purchased through Titan dealers listed on the website.
