The UWS TT-100-RT-T-P moves diesel and other non-flammable liquids out to the equipment that cannot come to the pump. One hundred gallons is the top of the UWS range and the point at which a transfer tank stops being a convenience and becomes the reason the truck exists. It is around 710 lb of diesel, so payload, not bed space, is usually the binding constraint. The rectangle is the simplest and the most volume-efficient shape UWS makes. There is no wasted geometry, which is why it gives you the most gallons per dollar in the range, and it is the easiest shape to strap down or move to a trailer or a shop floor later on. The tank is welded from .125" aluminum alloy and 100% pressure-tested before it ships, with internal baffles inside so the load does not surge forward every time you brake. The bright aluminum tread plate is the classic look, and it is more than cosmetic: bare aluminum does not rust, so there is no paint film to chip and start a corrosion problem. The fill cap is a lockable commercial-grade vented unit with a reinforced collar, and the drain plug sits nearly flush with the tank floor so it actually empties. At 47" long and 24" wide it is a spec-fit product, not a vehicle-specific one, so measure your bed floor and the gap between the wheel wells before you order. UWS rates this tank as DOT-compliant for transporting Class 3 combustible fuels only, such as diesel.
What's Included:
1 x UWS 100-gallon transfer tank
1 x filler neck and cap
1 x drain plug, 3/8"
NOT included, and you have to buy them separately: mounting hardware (UWS states you must purchase your own), an automatic shutoff nozzle, a fuel filter, a padlock for the fill cap, and any pump, hose or transfer kit
Features
100 Gallons of Usable Capacity This tank holds 100 gallons, which is about 710 lb of diesel once it is full. That is the number to plan around, not the empty weight: a full TT-100-RT-T-P puts roughly 796 lb into the bed before you load anything else, so check it against your truck's payload rating.
Heavy-Duty .125" Aluminum Alloy The tank is welded from .125" aluminum alloy, which is thicker than the material most transfer tanks use, and every tank is 100% pressure-tested before it ships. Aluminum also saves real weight: this one is 86 lb empty, which is payload you get to spend on cargo instead of on the tank.
Bright Aluminum Diamond-Plate Finish Bright aluminum tread plate, left bare. There is no paint film to chip, and aluminum does not rust, so weather, road salt and UV are not the problem they are for a painted steel tank.
Internal Baffles Baffles are partial walls welded inside the tank. They stop 710 lb of liquid from surging forward under braking or sideways through a corner, which is a handling and a safety issue on a loaded truck, and they add structural stiffness to the tank at the same time.
Lockable Commercial-Grade Vented Fill Cap The fill cap vents properly as the tank drains, which is what stops a tank pulling a vacuum and slowing the flow, and it has a reinforced collar and a lockable hasp so the contents are not an open invitation overnight. Bring your own padlock; UWS does not supply one.
Drain Plug Set Nearly Flush The drain plug sits nearly flush with the bottom of the tank so it actually empties, which matters if you ever switch what you are hauling or need to drop the weight before moving the tank. UWS specifies removing all liquid before relocating a tank.
Designed, Fabricated and Welded in Florida UWS states that this tank is designed, fabricated and welded at its own plant in Florida. The country of origin on record for this part is the USA.
Fitment & Compatibility
Truck or Application
Fit
Full-size long-bed trucks (8' bed)
✓ Yes
Full-size short-bed trucks (5'8" to 6'6" bed)
✓ Yes if your bed floor is at least 47" long, measure first
Compact and mid-size trucks (Tacoma, Ranger, Colorado, Frontier)
✗ No, 47" x 24" is too large and the loaded weight is too high
Short beds with a gooseneck hitch fitted
● Measure carefully, a tank this size usually conflicts with the ball
Flatbeds, trailers and stationary use
✓ Yes, on a flat surface rated for the loaded weight
Fit guidance: This is a spec-fit product, not a vehicle-specific kit, so it fits whatever bed it physically fits. The tank is 47" long, 24" wide and 23" tall, and UWS notes the fill cap adds about 2-3/4" to the overall height, which is the figure that decides whether the tank clears a tonneau or sits below the bed rails. Measure your bed floor length and the gap between the wheel wells before ordering. Filled with diesel this tank carries about 710 lb of fuel on top of its 86 lb empty weight, roughly 796 lb in total, so confirm your truck's payload rating. Mounting hardware is not included.

Tank Capacity: 100 gallons
Tank Style: Rectangular
Material: Aluminum alloy
Wall Thickness: .125"
Finish: Bright Aluminum
Overall Length: 47"
Overall Width: 24"
Overall Height: 23"
Internal Baffles: Yes
Fill Cap: Lockable commercial-grade vented cap with reinforced collar (padlock not included)
Drain Plug: 3/8", set nearly flush with the tank floor
Pressure Test: 100% pressure-tested
Mounting: Commercial-grade mounting flanges (mounting hardware not included)
DOT Rating: DOT-compliant for transporting Class 3 combustible fuels only, such as diesel
Intended Use: Private use only; UWS states the tank is not intended for commercial use and does not meet 49 CFR 393.65 or 393.67
Not Compatible With: Gasoline and other flammable fuels, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), and other corrosive materials
Type: Set the tank into the bed and bolt it down through the mounting flanges · Time: About 1 hour with a second person or a hoist · Tools: Drill and a 3/8" drill bit, ratchet and socket set, tape measure and a marker, plus a hoist or a second person to lift the tank · Difficulty: Easy, and UWS rates the installation difficulty as Easy
Empty the tank completely before you ever move it; UWS states it should be lifted only when empty. Before you drill into the bed, look underneath and confirm the bit cannot reach a brake or fuel line, wiring or the fuel tank, and keep fasteners far enough from the fuel tank that a collision cannot drive one into it. The tank must finish up securely bolted to the bed. Mounting hardware is not supplied, so match the fastener size to your bed and use backing plates or large washers underneath; UWS's general torque guidance is 16 ft-lb for a 3/8" bolt and 28 ft-lb for a 1/2" bolt, but if your hardware comes with its own figures, use those. The tank must stay vented at all times, must not be pressurized, and UWS requires an automatic shutoff nozzle and a fuel filter, none of which are supplied. Read the UWS installation manual through before you start, and check your state and local rules on transporting fuel before the first fill.

About UWS
UWS, United Welding Services, builds truck tool boxes and liquid transfer tanks and is part of the CURT Group family of towing and truck accessory brands under Lippert. The company is best known for two things it engineered rather than bought in: the patented RigidCore lid, which sandwiches solid foam between two metal plates so a tool box lid does not flex, bind or warp under load, and the MicroSeal gasket that keeps water, dust and road grime out of the box. Those details show up across the whole catalog, from a crossover box to a 100-gallon combo tank.
UWS aluminum transfer tanks are built for the same job the tool boxes are: living in a work truck bed and being useful on the worst day of the week. Every tank is welded from heavy-duty .125" aluminum alloy, fitted with internal baffles so the load does not surge when you brake or corner, given a lockable commercial-grade vented fill cap and a near-flush drain plug, and 100% pressure-tested before it ships. UWS states these tanks are designed, fabricated and welded in Florida.
Prestige Truck is an authorized UWS dealer. Everything we ship is new, covered by the full UWS factory warranty, and backed by UWS's own service and parts support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
What can I legally haul in this tank, and what can I not?
Diesel is the intended use. UWS rates the tank DOT-compliant for transporting Class 3 combustible fuels only, such as diesel, and for non-flammable liquids including water. The exclusions are explicit in UWS's own installation manual and worth reading before you buy: it is NOT approved for flammable fuels such as gasoline; it must never be connected to your truck's fuel system or used as an auxiliary tank; and it is not compatible with diesel exhaust fluid or other corrosive materials, so DEF is out. UWS also states the tank is for private use only, is not intended for commercial use, and does not meet 49 CFR 393.65 or 393.67, which are the federal fuel-system rules for commercial motor vehicles. If you run under a DOT number, check that against your own compliance requirements before ordering.
Will it fit my truck bed?
Measure before you order. The tank is 47" long, 24" wide and 23" tall, and the fill cap adds about 2-3/4" on top of that. The two numbers that decide it are your bed floor length and the gap between your wheel wells. A tank this size is a full-size truck product; it will not work in a compact or mid-size bed.
How much does it weigh when it is full?
The tank is 86 lb empty. Diesel runs about 7.1 lb per gallon, so a full 100 gallons adds roughly 710 lb, for about 796 lb sitting in the bed before any other cargo. That is more than a half-ton truck's remaining payload in many configurations, so check the door-jamb sticker rather than assuming. Always drain the tank completely before relocating it.
What exactly comes in the crate?
UWS's installation manual lists the carton contents as the tank, the filler neck and cap, and a 3/8" drain plug. Keys are supplied only with combo models, so there are none with this tank. Mounting hardware is not included and UWS is explicit that you must buy your own to suit your bed. You will also need an automatic shutoff nozzle, which UWS requires and does not provide, and a fuel filter. There is no pump, hose or padlock in the crate.
How well does the finish hold up?
There is no coating to fail. The tank is bare aluminum tread plate, which does not rust, and the tread pattern hides handling marks well. UWS warrants the tank for life and the finish for one year.
How does it ship, and what is the warranty?
This is a freight item, not a parcel item. At about 96 lb it moves by LTL freight, so expect a delivery appointment and plan how you will get it off the truck: a forklift, a loading dock or several people. UWS covers the tank with a limited lifetime warranty, with one year on the finish and one year on parts.

Look is great. 100 lbs
Look is great. 100 lbs lighter than my 2nd pick. Lid lock and opening are smooth. Only minor knock I give is the the tie down hooks are hard to install - thinking I should have done them before installing.

A must have
I really like this mat. I was apprehensive at first but, the mat does a great job of keeping things from sliding around without having to secure it. perfect fit. But i think i will be adding some short screws to secure the mat to the DECKED system.

I never knew how much I needed this
As with all BAK covers, the quality is amazing. What I didnt fully appreciate until installing was the ease of opening - especially in a lifted truck. No more need to find the right handhold. Just roll it back with a single hand. Its also great to see out of my rear window when fully open - something you lose with the fold back covers. Customer service is awesome. I has an installation question and the representative stayed on the line as I adjusted an alignment to ensure I did it properly.

Better then expected.
Searched for about 6 months to find the tonneau cover. I really wanted the security of a hard top without sticking above the bed rails it checked those boxes. I also did not want to drill my truck bed. The install was super simple my wife and I had it on the truck in about a half an hour.

The toolbox is nice. I
The toolbox is nice. I think Ill get a lot of years of service out of it. I like how the lid opens and the tie downs are a nice touch. It seems to be well built. And tough. Im pleased with my purchase and would buy another one.
