Richard Cheese Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 has anyone done it? I have a smaller trailer with an 18 gal tank for the genny & the pump station. it works well with just the quads, but now i have the ranger, and that thing is a gas guzzler :chev_bowtie: there is plenty of room inside the frame for a bigger tank. I was thinking about heavy duty poly tank, instead of an aluminum, or steel tank, for non-corrosive purposes what do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefoot bob Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 i have a box trailer with a motor home. i showed you the pics. anywase, i had a 70 gal fuel cell biult under the boxtrailer no problem .if theres room they can do it .just be mindfull of the weight. gas ways approx 8lbs to the gallon. you dont want to much tail weight = fishtailing .to much front weight = broken hitch .do the math try to make the trailer axels do the work with emphises on a lil tounge weight . mine waas set with all tounge weight but mine is a box trailer so i dont have all those living goodies in it gl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking it wouldnt be a problem to go with like a 50 gal, if my current was 18...that would come out to about and extra 256 lbs. that is livable. who did your fuel cell? do you think a poly tank would hold up???
