Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to add auxiliary fuel tanks to my vehicle?
Yes, with proper installation that maintains emissions compliance. Our installations meet California Air Resources Board (CARB) requirements and federal DOT regulations.
How much additional range can I expect?
Depending on your vehicle and tank selection, we can typically increase range by 50-100% over stock capacity. For example, adding a 40-gallon auxiliary tank to a truck with a 26-gallon main tank can extend range by approximately 600 miles.
Will adding a fuel tank affect my vehicle's payload capacity?
Yes, you should account for the weight of the tank and fuel when calculating available payload. Our team will help determine the optimal tank size for your specific needs and vehicle capacity.
Do I need to modify my vehicle's computer for a new fuel tank?
Most replacement tanks require no computer modifications. Auxiliary systems typically operate independently of the main fuel system. Our technicians ensure proper gauge calibration regardless of the system installed.
How long does fuel tank installation take?
Most installations take 1-2 days depending on complexity:
Basic auxiliary tanks: 4-6 hours
Replacement tanks: 6-8 hours
Complex dual-tank systems: 1-2 days
Do you offer tanks for diesel emissions-equipped vehicles?
Yes, we offer CARB-compliant solutions for modern diesel trucks that maintain proper emissions system function. These specialized systems require professional installation to ensure continued emissions compliance.
Addressing Your Concerns
"I'm worried about safety with added fuel capacity." Our certified technicians follow strict safety protocols for all fuel system modifications. Each installation includes multiple leak tests, proper grounding, and protected mounting to ensure maximum safety.
"Will adding fuel capacity void my warranty?" When properly installed, fuel system modifications typically affect only the fuel system portion of your warranty. Our documentation helps maintain coverage for unrelated vehicle systems, and we can advise on specific manufacturer policies.
"Can I still use automated car washes with an auxiliary tank?" We'll advise on specific care requirements for your system. Most of our installations are designed to withstand normal vehicle use, including car washes, though touchless systems are recommended.
