The Fuelbox is a T-Shaped fuel tank toolbox combo that is designed to fit perfectly in any half-ton pickup truck. The design is taller and wider than other Fuelbox options which makes an ideal option for someone who needs room for big tools and the option to fill equipment.

The Fuelbox is a universal product that is designed for use as an auxiliary tank, transfer tank, or both. 

*Black powder coat is an optional upgrade; choose Fuelbox protective spray liner for black powder coat.

The Fuelbox can be used in two ways:

• As an auxiliary fuel tank for your diesel pickup. Use the Auto Fuel Controller to transfer fuel to your pickup as you drive.

• Use the optional transfer pump to transfer fuel from the Fuelbox to other vehicles and equipment.  The optional transfer pump mounts inside the tool box so it is secure and out of sight.

Fuel Transfer System

Choose the Auto Fuel Controller or TP13 Transfer Pump or choose both options.

Auto Fuel Controller

Choose the Plug and Play Auto Fuel Controller or the Digital Display Auto Fuel Controller.

The Auto Fuel Controller (AFC) makes the Fuelbox tanks legal in all 50 states for diesel pickups. The AFC system meets or exceeds all DOT & EPA regulations. It also meets the standards required by the VESC-22.

Auto Fuel Controllers (AFC) systems are compatible for all Ford, GM and Dodge diesel pickups. The AFC makes the operation of the auxiliary fuel tanks effortless.

There’s no need to worry about switching between tanks and running out of fuel. Since our system transfers to the stock tank there is NO CUTTING OF FACTORY
FUEL LINES and warranty problems that go along with cutting up OEM lines and you
will always be running off your factory fuel system.

The AFC computer works in conjunction with the Fuelbox by automatically filling your main tank when it gets low as you drive and shuts off when the main tank gets near full. The AFC monitors the stock OEM fuel tank.

When the stock tank gets near 1⁄4 of a tank it will turn on a transfer pump and transfer fuel from the auxiliary tank to the stock tank. The AFC will shut off the transfer pump when the stock tank is near full or the auxiliary tank is empty.

The AFC can be set for automatic operation or it can be manually turned off
from the cab of your truck. In addition there is a manual button, where you can manually transfer fuel for up to 4 minutes.

The Auto Fuel Controller is available in two models: Digital Display Controller or Plug & Play Controller.

• Plug & Play Controller: plugs directly into your on-board diagnostic (OBD-II) port on your truck. This makes an easier install and avoids the factory wire harness. The plug and play shows the fuel level percentage in both the vehicle tank and the Fuelbox tank.

• Digital Display Controller: is a vehicle specific controller that is programmed for the year and make of the vehicle. The Digital Display controller only shows the fuel level in the Fuelbox tank.

Transfer Pump

The fuel transfer pump allows you to fill other vehicles and equipment. The transfer pump is a 13 gallon per minute pump with a 12 foot hose and an auto shut-off nozzle. 

Transfer Pump Accessories:

• Filter Kit - Adds filtration to your transfer pump.
• Fuel Meter - Logs how many gallons you transfer with the transfer pump.

Fuelbox Optional Accessories:

• Tool tray
• Locking Gas Cap
• Tie down bar
• Side bed step

*some accessories are not available for all Fuelbox Combo sizes.

The Fuelbox Combo features

• Fuel tank is constructed of high-quality .125 marine grade aluminum and has a minimum of two interior baffles.
• Fuel tank has 90-degree flange reinforced seams, which doubles weld joint thickness for stronger welds.
• Toolbox and heavy-duty lid constructed of .100 marine-grade aluminum with an extra-large lid stiffener.
• Stainless steel latch and lock assemblies & a continuous hinge that is the full length of the lid.
• Toolbox has a unique rain channel with neoprene on the lid that assures a weather-tight seal.
• You will also find that the bottom of the toolbox is not the top of the fuel tank, adding extra strength and protection to the fuel tank.
• Legal in all 50 states for diesel fuel only & meets or exceeds all DOT & EPA regulations.

Additional Options:

• Compare all Fuelbox tank options.
• Check other toolbox fuel tank combo options.

Will your tanks work in a Gasoline Truck?

No, our tanks are DOT certified & follow EPA regulations for DIESEL FUEL ONLY. The reason for this is all our tanks are vented to the atmosphere. All 1996 and newer gasoline pickup trucks are equipped with a sensor in the tank for emission. If you install our AFC kit on one of these trucks it will set a check engine light and fail the emission test.

How Do I know what kind of Truck Bed I have?

A long bed is approximately 8 ft and a short bed is approximately 6.5ft.

How Difficult is it to Install a Fuelbox?
