Auxillary fuel tank???
I need an auxillary fuel tank under my current tool box, what's the best material to build it out of (steel or aluminum)? It will only be used for long trips.

Make sure you put enough baffles in it to help stop side wall flex.
 The "pop" that you hear when filling with fuel is material flexing and sooner or later it can cause trouble.

That is a good point. You may want to get it inspected.

I vote for aluminum. Just be sure you add baffles in it.

It will be used for the truck, gravity feed into factory tank. It will be baffled. And I am "the man" u speak of, so no worries there
