Carry 85 gallons of diesel and still use your bed with the Weather Guard 359-5-02 Column transfer tank in black ARMOR TUF. This slim, upright tank mounts flat against the bulkhead and is only about a foot deep, so it keeps fuel out of the way and the bed floor open, in a blacked-out finish that hides road grime. Baffled 12-gauge steel construction keeps the load stable and the tank working season after season.
What's Included:
- 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
- Transfer pump, hose, nozzle and filter are sold separately
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.
Space-Saving Column Design
The slim Column body stands upright against the bulkhead at only about 12-1/2" deep, keeping 85 gallons of fuel out of your way and leaving nearly the whole bed floor open, all in a blacked-out finish. It is built for crews that need fuel and cargo space at the same time.

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.

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.
