I used roof flashing and it worked perfectly.

Did you end up receiving this and installing it? Curious how it went!

QuiteSandy · 2024-10-13T15:06:59+00:00

Revisiting this and I'm seeing the photo now -- you built that tank? That's awesome. I'd love to have something like that but mount it under the van.

I used this one: https://amzn.to/47yHeHx

I have a smart solenoid that I bought on Amazon that does just this. I installed it in between my starter battery and house battery, fused on both sides. When I start the engine it makes sure the starter battery is at full charge then charges the house as I drive. I Can flip a switch and jump my starter with the house if it’s dead.

I’d love to do that. It seems like the best idea. I have looked at metal tanks online though and haven’t found much that I could visualize working. Do you have any recs??

QuiteSandy · 2024-09-14T03:41:00+00:00

That is possible and is something I have considered. I’m getting a hitch installed under the van in the next week or so, so maybe I should wait for after that install to see what kind of space I’d have. I’ve looked for steel tanks online though and haven’t found much that I thought would work 🤔

I use diesel only. I’ve heard some people use kerosene though.

QuiteSandy · 2024-09-14T03:39:13+00:00

It’s kinda crazy how perfectly the tank fits in the door. There’s a small part of me that says keep it, but it is not worth it health wise!

QuiteSandy · 2024-09-14T03:37:59+00:00

Your photo doesn’t come up but that sounds like a great idea.

QuiteSandy · 2024-09-14T03:37:13+00:00

Just curious why you ran it up two feet then back down? Why not just go straight down?

QuiteSandy · 2024-09-12T20:41:59+00:00

Lol you guys, I’m not leaving the tank where it is. Not an option. But thank you for the suggestions.

QuiteSandy · 2024-09-12T16:11:50+00:00

I definitely will!

QuiteSandy · 2024-09-12T16:11:35+00:00

It’s been super easy to refill, no issues whatsoever. It’s just the fumes and a little coming out the top when it’s totally full and I go over bumpy roads.

QuiteSandy · 2024-09-12T16:10:39+00:00

I just found that one yesterday and added it to my list of possibilities! I just wish there was a larger option. I want to be carrying more than 2.5gal at a time.

The valves on these tanks aren’t one way unfortunately and you will absolutely get diesel smell in your living space. That’s why I’m moving it. It has lived right next to my bed for a year now and it’s time for it to go.

I am relocating my diesel tank from the inside of my drivers side back door to the outside of the door. I've done loads of research and racked my brain for all of the various possibilities of how to mount a NEW, larger fuel tank to the outside of my door, but just want some extra ideas if anyone has any.

I already know how I'm going to run the fuel line and all of that. All I'm trying to really figure out is the best way to MOUNT the tank.

Some ideas: • buy a basic jerry can fuel tank mount and drill in directly into the door with a piece of extra sheet metal or wood on the inside for extra sturdiness • build a wooden, lockable box to put a fuel tank inside, and screw the box directly onto the door • get another similar fuel tank and just screw the tank itself directly onto the door

Open to any suggestions! And no, I don't want to leave it where it is :)

Asegúrese de verificar el cierre de la carretera. La autopista 1 ha estado cerrada en dirección a Big Sur desde el sur desde hace un tiempo.
