Q; Does the USW 45 combo have any way to automatic transfer diesel from combo tank to factory tank? 2008 F250 SD 6.4L

Yes. You can purchase an RDS Diesel Install kit (also available on Amazon). This is what I used with my UWS tank. It does require cutting the stock fuel filler hose and inserting a automatic valve that allows fuel to flow from the auxiliary tank the the truck tank, yet stops once the tank is full. Simple install that any shade tree mechanic can handle. For more info on this product, read review on the product at northerntool dot com.

Yes, I use it as a auxiliary diesel tank. The only problem is the drain is about 2 inches from the bottom and can't get the tank empty. But not a huge deal for me. The drain is located on the left side. The only other small problem is it does slosh out some diesel when full, just needs a better cap, I just haven't got around to buying one. In all I do like the tank. Hope this helps.

Nope, I run mine with the engine off (F-250 6.0l diesel). Just remember tho it's about a 4 amp draw so keep a periodic eye on the juice left in the battery.

Possibly, but it depends on the tank design. Assuming it's a gravity fed design, you'd be better off disconnecting the fuel line to drain it. Use something like this:Laguna Multi Hose Adapter, 1/4 to 1-Inch That will allow you to connect the short fuel line to a longer hose.Be prepared to deal with a varnished carburetor. Add something like B12 Chemtool to your new fuel. You may have to remove the carb and soak it in Chemtool or carb cleaner, or maybe even rebuild it.

Lowes. I went from 1" to 3/4" brass barb - 3/4" fuel line hose to 3'4" to 1/2" barb - 1/2" fuel hose to 1/2" tp 3/8" brass barb. Installed two of these together with a 1" x 3" brass pipe and mounted them under my Ford F350 6.4L diesel to filter the fuel moving from my 50 gallon auxiliary tank mounted in the bed of the truck to the main factory tank. Now I only add fuel to the aux tank so it is very clean by the time it goes through two of these filters and into my main tank. I did all of those step downs so I would be using fuel hose. Be careful, you do not want to use radiator or coolant hose. I will disolve and end up in your injectors. Lowes.

It should, I haven't tried it with diesel, but in my research I found one user who reported that his worked excellently with diesel fuel. He used it as a transfer pump from a bed mounted tank to the normally used stock tank.

You have to manually switch. I had problems with it leaking through so I did away with it completely. Now I just move my regulator from tank to tank.

There is only a threaded standoff on the tank, you will need to find the proper fuel connector to thread into it for your application.

David,My 2000 F-250 SD came with factory overloads (engages stops mounted on the bed). The Air lift kit bolted onto the overloads. Removed the overloads, but the U-bolts supplied with the kit did not fit. Reinstalled the overloads, and the short U-bolts fit fine. Have pulled a 8,000 lbs trailer (750lbs tounge) for the last 700 miles. Pumped up the air lift to level the truck. Drove nice without front end drift or breaking problems. I am happy. Oh, I also bought the compressor, but haven't finished the installation yet. Installed properly (follow the instructions closely) and you should be happy with the kit.

No - Not without some added modifications as mentioned from Amber G - I use the Propane Tanks - It easy and convenient - You can trade in your tank for a new one practically anywhere.

It's not suppose to be hock up to the fuel system of the truck engine. But it can be hock up to the fuel tank by a fuel inlet kit. Once you fill the fuel tank of the engine( main) you close the petcock. If not you will drain it on the ground. And you good to go just keep the petcock close unless you need to fill the main tank up. Remember if you leave the petcock open it will over fill you tank up

Yes. If you want it connected through your factory tank filler, you will need a kit for that.Jeff Quinn

Yes you can. I suggest having two tanks with a bypass regulator for uninterrupted service. One tank empties, switch bypass to full tank and fill up empty tank at your leisure.

Hi, the compressor and tank combo is prewired, all it needs is power and ground. The power should be run through as relay, that is connected to the ignition, this will allow the pump to run only when the key is in the on position. The horn itself has an electric solenoid. This kit will include a small button that can be used to activate the horn, or if you prefer you can wire it to the factory horn.

Yes ....but in my case DOT regulations state it can not be connected to the fuel system so for me it's only a transfer tank ....There is a drain bung on the bottom edge tho :)

I do not know. I have not used my as of yet. The data says you can use it with R-22. Therefore I would start with the connections on the tank and move up the line. Now the tanks, have apparently differently fittings. and this is where you may need to buy the special connectors.

My husband is in the process of getting this hooked up. We purchased the transfer switch so it is a little more involved. Our hope was to run a hook up from our 500 gal tank but some of his coworkers (hospital maintenance workers) said there could be an issue with pressure from our large home propane tank so they referred him to our propane supplier. You might want to call your company and speak with an expert. We haven't made the call yet.
