Keep diesel on the truck and skip the fuel run with the Weather Guard 350-5-02 transfer tank in blacked-out ARMOR TUF. This 50 gallon L-shape tank is the compact option in the line, made from 12-gauge steel with a black powder coat that hides dust and diesel splatter and gives the bed a clean, dark look. Its small stepped footprint sits against the bulkhead of a full-size bed and fits many mid-size trucks, so you gain on-board fuel without losing your cargo space.

Features
Heavy 12-Gauge Steel Build
Every panel is formed from 12-gauge steel and joined with an overlapping edge design that reinforces the corners. It is built to survive the vibration, weight and rough handling that come with life in a work truck bed.
Black ARMOR TUF Finish
A black ARMOR TUF powder coat wraps the whole tank to fight rust, fading and chips. It shrugs off diesel spills, road salt and sun so the tank keeps looking sharp in the bed.
Baffled For Stable Hauling
Interior baffles slow the fuel down as you drive, so a full tank does not slosh and shove the truck around. Less fluid motion also means less stress on the tank over the long haul.
Vented, Lockable Fill Cap
The filler cap vents to prevent pressure build-up as diesel warms and moves, then locks to help keep your fuel secure on the jobsite or overnight.
Ready For Your Transfer Pump
A 2 in standard NPT port accepts most 12V diesel transfer pumps up to 30 pounds, and a 3/8" drain port makes service and draining easy. Add a pump, hose and filter to fuel equipment right from the bed.
Compact L-Shape Bed Fit
The small L-shape footprint tucks against the bulkhead and pairs with Weather Guard Saddle and Gull Wing boxes, while the blacked-out finish keeps a low-key look. Rubber isolation bushings on the steel bed plate cushion the mount and protect both the tank and your bed.

Fit guidance: This is Weather Guard's compact L-shape transfer tank, so it has the smallest footprint in the line at about 32" long by 30" wide by 22" tall. The stepped L-shape sits against the front bed bulkhead and leaves the rest of the bed floor open for tools and cargo. It drops easily into full-size beds and fits many mid-size trucks that have room across the bed. Always measure your bed and confirm clearance around the wheel wells before ordering, and factor in the added weight of a full tank against your payload.

Follow the Weather Guard installation instructions for exact hardware placement.

Compliance. The Weather Guard 50 gallon L-Shape is a bed-mounted transfer and storage tank rated for diesel fuel and hydraulic fluid only. Weather Guard's own safety labeling on the tank calls out diesel use only and warns against filling it with gasoline or any other flammable liquid, which creates an explosion risk in a vented steel transfer tank. It is not designed or approved to be plumbed into a vehicle's primary fuel system as an auxiliary supply tank. Fuel is moved with a 12V transfer pump through the 2 in NPT port rather than by gravity feed, and Weather Guard recommends running a filter when pumping. Weather Guard does not publish a DOT approval number for these transfer tanks, so treat it as a transfer and storage tank, not a DOT-certified auxiliary fuel tank. Rules for hauling and dispensing fuel vary by state and by the quantity carried, so the buyer is responsible for confirming legal, compliant use. Gasoline is never approved for this steel tank and should not be stored or transferred in it.
