Keep your bed floor open and still carry 85 gallons of diesel with the Weather Guard 359-3-02 Column transfer tank. This slim, upright tank stands against the front bulkhead and is only about a foot deep front to back, so it holds serious fuel without eating your cargo space. It is built from baffled 12-gauge steel under a brite white ARMOR TUF powder coat, making it the smart pick for crews that need range and a usable bed at the same time.

85 gallon column steel transfer tank
Vented, lockable filler cap
Steel bed-plate mounting hardware with rubber isolation bushings
Reinforced filler neck and 2 in NPT pump port opening
Weather Guard installation instructions

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.
Brite White ARMOR TUF Finish A brite white 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.
Space-Saving Column Design The slim Column body stands upright against the bulkhead and is only about 12-1/2" deep, so it fits 85 gallons of diesel while leaving nearly the whole bed floor open for cargo. It is the tank to choose when you need range but still use the bed for hauling.
Fit guidance: This is Weather Guard's Column tank, a slim, tall design that mounts flat against the front bed bulkhead. It is about 55" wide across the bed and stands about 27" tall, but it is only about 12-1/2" front to back, so an 85 gallon fuel supply takes up minimal bed depth and leaves almost the entire bed floor open behind it. It is sized for full-size pickups. Measure your bed width at the bulkhead and confirm payload before ordering. It is not recommended for mid-size or compact trucks.
Fittings and Ports: 2 in standard NPT pump port, 3/8" drain port
Pump Compatibility: Accepts most 12V transfer pumps up to 30 lb (Severe Series tank required for heavier pumps)
Approved Fluids: Diesel and hydraulic fluid only, not for gasoline or flammables
Weight: About 124 lb empty (142 lb shipping)
Mounting: Steel bed plate with rubber isolation bushings, hardware included
Warranty: Limited Lifetime
Made In: USA
Mounting Method: Bolt-through bed mount, drilling required
Installation
Type: Bed-mount, bolt-in · Time: About 1 to 2 hours · Tools: Drill and bits, wrench or socket set, tape measure, marker, and zinc-rich primer to seal any drilled holes · Difficulty: Moderate, DIY-friendly with basic hand tools
Set the tank in place against the bed bulkhead, mark and drill the mounting points, then bolt it down through the steel bed plate using the supplied rubber isolation bushings so the tank is cushioned from the bed. Coat any drilled holes with zinc-rich primer to prevent rust, especially on aluminum beds. Install the filler neck and vented cap, then add your transfer pump, hose and filter. Follow the Weather Guard installation instructions for exact hardware placement.

Compliance. The Weather Guard 85 gallon Column (slim upright, low bed-depth) 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.

Model
This OneWeather Guard 85 Gallon Column Steel Transfer Tank, Low-Profile, Brite White (359-3-02)
Diesel fuel and hydraulic fluid only. Weather Guard labels these steel transfer tanks for diesel use and warns against gasoline or any other flammable liquid, because those are not safe in a vented steel transfer tank. Keep it to diesel and non-flammable hydraulic fluid.
Can I use this as an auxiliary tank plumbed into my truck?
No. This is a transfer and storage tank, not a gasoline tank and not an auxiliary tank that plumbs into your truck's fuel system. It carries diesel in the bed and pumps it out to equipment or vehicles with a separate 12V transfer pump. Always confirm the fuel rules in your state before hauling and dispensing.
How much bed space does the Column tank take?
Very little floor space. The 359-3-02 is about 55" wide and 27" tall but only about 12-1/2" deep front to back, so it stands like a slim wall against the bulkhead and leaves nearly the whole bed floor open behind it. Measure your bed width at the bulkhead before ordering.
How is the tank mounted?
It bolts down through a steel bed plate using rubber isolation bushings that cushion it from bed vibration. Plan to drill a few mounting holes, seal them with zinc-rich primer, and follow the included Weather Guard instructions. Most installs take one to two hours with basic hand tools.
Why choose the Column tank over an L-shape or rectangle?
The Column 359-3-02 is the space-saver. It holds 85 gallons while taking up only about a foot of bed depth, so you keep the bed floor for cargo. An L-shape or rectangle tank sits lower or shorter but eats more of the bed floor. Choose the Column when open bed space matters most.
Where is this tank made?
In the USA. Weather Guard builds its steel transfer tanks in the United States and backs them with a Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

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.
