{"product_id":"uws-45-gallon-rectangle-aluminum-transfer-tank-bright-aluminum-tt-45-r-t-p","title":"UWS 45-Gallon Rectangle Aluminum Transfer Tank, Bright Aluminum (TT-45-R-T-P)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe UWS TT-45-R-T-P moves diesel and other non-flammable liquids out to the equipment that cannot come to the pump. Forty-five gallons is the size you pick when the tank has to share the bed with everything else you carry. It is roughly 319 lb of diesel, which is a full day of running a couple of machines without turning the truck into a dedicated fuel hauler. 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 54\" long and 10.5\" 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x UWS 45-gallon transfer tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x filler neck and cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x drain plug, 3\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNOT 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\" style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SbXlFL0GYMo\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e45 Gallons of Usable Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis tank holds 45 gallons, which is about 319 lb of diesel once it is full. That is the number to plan around, not the empty weight: a full TT-45-R-T-P puts roughly 370 lb into the bed before you load anything else, so check it against your truck's payload rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-Duty .125\" Aluminum Alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.

They stop 319 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLockable Commercial-Grade Vented Fill Cap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.

Measure your bed floor length and the gap between the wheel wells before ordering.
