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.

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

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.

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.

How Long will it take to do an install?

Between 2-4 hours depending on your mechanical skills.

Where Can I have my Fuelbox Installed?

If you aren't comfortable doing the install yourself, you can contact a local auto repair shop for installation.

Will I Void my Vehicle's Warranty if I install one of your fuel tanks?

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.

Will My Diesel Pickup Pass an Emission Test?

Yes, our tanks do not alter the stock fuel delivery system. By not altering this system the Fuelbox fuel tanks are approved for use without exemption by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
