Very cool. I guess I should get out and check mine. I just got it November so I still have a lot of getting acquainted to do with it. I need to get an antenna bracket or 2 also.

I have a 60gal aux tank in my pickup that feeds the main tank via gravity. It sits in the bed behind the cab and has a small tool box in the top of it. I think they are only approved for diesel. I have had it for several years now with no issues. I think it is an RDS. Not sure if you could get...
