Locknuts don't reliably lock after the first use. Use a regular nut for cutting the bolt.

[jamesbh]

Good tip on the bolt thread but I would use a standard nut rather than a locking nut just to avoid damaging the plastic lock. Does depend on how messy you are with cutting.

[jonjacob]

Pro tip. Use a drill with a bit that fits that nut in the center of the hand crank. Boom. Electric, speed controllable, pump. Lol. Also. Use heavy duty door slides for the tool box. Make it so you can slide it as close to the tank as possible for storage. Then pull it out to clear the crank handle.

Was thinking about the air noise.. Then it occurred to me, if you just pumped gallons of fuel out of the tank, then air needs to flow into the tank to replace that volume. Maybe the sound was that air balancing the pressure in the tank? Really enjoying your videos, have learned a lot watching!

[tiderfish]

Was waiting for him to pull out some schedule 40 when plumping that pump!

[steventrinh]

I think it's OK. Proceeds to slam it 7 times. Sean you're a hoot.

I bought a Husky box for my truck a while back & paid $100 for it. Best $100 I ever spent. I store all my tools in it, the box had a padlock latch on it already so that was a plus.
I’ve got a tank I’ll probably put on my truck, but the L part of it is 8” tall & since my bed side is 1” lower than the new ones.

I’ll probably be getting a bus to live in plus it’s my bio diesel processing tank, so I might never put it in my truck. I had a 50gal tank like this guy has, but had to sell it.

I’m looking at others & the steel ones just keep getting bad reviews as an aux fuel tank to the truck, so I’ll have to just bite the bullet & just get an aluminum tank off FB.

Great video! Very nice pacing. It was enjoyable to watch.

[trailermonkey]

That is a very nice upgrade. I hate those 5 gallon "spill" tanks!

[ThriftyGarage]

I find it best not to slam the lid on the tool box but rather open the latch with the handle and gently close the lid. We have a transfer tank/toolbox combo on our truck and the latches are cheap and bend easily. All it takes is slamming the box 1x and the latching pin gets all bent out of shape. But if you close it like I described it doesn't have an issue.

[jvkew]

I really like your explanations. The what and why of what you are doing.

[orchardtvchannel]

Looks great . Like the hand pump too.

[donschaefer]

Nice setup. That’s what I want to do with a designated fuel truck

[bcwindowcleaning]

I would put a steal cage between the tank and the cab of the truck. If you're in a wreck those screws pointing towards the passengers is deadly. Not sure of the weight of fuel but water is a little over 8 lbs per gallon and that's a lot of force towards the cab. Even if no one ever rides in the back seat can't be safe enough hauling extra fuel around in a vehicle.

I have the same toolbox and it seems flimsy but I haven't had any issues in 5 years. I use mine a lot too. I don't care about dents though

[flyingflight]

Man I miss the days when gas was actually affordable. $2.10 for a gallon of diesel is a steal.

[Stratos]

The swivel fitting is more advanced so Obviously they always charge extra for a piece that should be included as the overall package, Be Aware that some of those hand pump seals can leak from the base of that crank handle assembly, If you ever notice that its dripping at the edge of the crank then the seal gets worn out. At my last job we had several pumps that had to be replaced over time, some had to have total replacements. ( not sure of the same brand or model of pump )

[TheAlex]

you want to keep a spanner with you so you can crack the nut release the pressure then it will drain quickly

[coolftp]

I don't know if you still use this transfer tank, but shouldn't it be additionally grounded to the unpainted part?
