The Fuelbox Under Tonneau is a low profile fuel tank toolbox combo.  This fuel tank toolbox combo is designed to work with most tonneau covers. The design includes a few changes in the dimensions and lid to make a perfect fit with a tonneau cover. 

The Fuelbox Under Tonneau fuel tank toolbox sits below the bed rails and the lid is recessed in so it can fully open with a tonneau cover. It clears most gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches. 

Recommended Tonneau Covers:

  • Tonneau covers that are designed to remain above the bedrails will be directly compatible with all three tank sizes (Bak Industries / Bak Flip tonneau covers will be compatible).
  • Tonneau covers with a canister design (goes below the bedrail at the very front of the cab) will not be compatible with the 40 gallon and 45 gallon tank sizes (Retrax & Roll N Lock tonneau covers).
  • If you have a canister style tonneau cover, the 55 gallon tank size will potentially fit if you have a long bed truck.

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

Note: You must measure your pickup bed with tonneau cover to guarantee clearance.

The Fuelbox is a universal product that can be used as an auxiliary tank, transfer tank, or both. 

Under Tonneau Tank Toolbox Combo Features:

  • Constructed with .125 inch marine grade aluminum.
  • 90 degree flange reinforced seams which doubles weld joint thickness.
  • Stainless steel latch and lock assemblies with a continuous hinge that is the full length of the lid.
  • Weather tight seal with unique rain channel with neoprene on the lid.
  • Legal in all 50 states for diesel fuel only & meets DOT & EPA regulations. 

Tank Sizes (notched lower length):

  • 40 Gallon*: 62 inches long x 23 inches wide x 17.5 inches high
  • 45 Gallon: 62 inches long x 20 inches wide x 17.5 inches high 
  • 55 Gallon: 62 inches long x 30 inches wide x 17.5 inches high

All three tanks have a 53 inch lower tank length.

*The 40 gallon size has a bottom tank width of 14 inches. The lower bottom tank width enables the 40 gallon size to fit short bed pickup trucks.

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.

Option 1: Use your Fuelbox as an Auxiliary Tank

Fuelbox Auto Fuel Controller (AFC) - Auxiliary Fuel System:

The AFC computer works in conjunction with the Fuelbox tank by automatically filling your main fuel 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 (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 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.

Option 2: Use your Fuelbox as a Transfer Tank with a Fuel 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.

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?

Anyone with basic mechanical skills can install a Fuelbox or the AFC system. The Fuelbox comes standard with every component needed to install the tank to your truck, excluding the standard hand tools needed for the install. No need to run back and forth to the parts store.

Between 2-4 hours depending on your mechanical skills.

No, if you install the auxiliary diesel fuel tank per the instructions and use the components that come with the installation kit, it will not void your factory warranty.
