Part Type: TRANSFER TANK
A UWS steel transfer tank is the perfect way to outfit your truck for working on the farm, the construction site or other tough jobs. It allows you to safely and effectively transport non-flammable liquids -- such as chemicals, pesticides, diesel fuel or even water -- to other vehicles and equipment. This 85-gallon steel L-shaped transfer tank is constructed from 14-gauge steel, welded into a single piece to eliminate leaks. It features a lockable, commercial-grade, vented cap for easy filling and a drain plug for convenient emptying. It is also equipped with lifting hooks on the back for easier moving in and out of the bed of your truck, as well as welded mounting tabs for secure installation (mounting hardware not included; remove all liquid contents prior to tank relocation). All UWS steel transfer tanks are built for safety, featuring internal baffles to resist sloshing and promote an even flow of liquids. They are also 100% pressure-tested for safety. This particular 85-gallon steel transfer tank comes with a matte black powder coat finish for excellent corrosion resistance. NOTE: This tank is DOT-compliant for transporting Class 3 combustible fuels only, such as diesel.

UWS designs and builds heavy-duty truck tool boxes and storage for tradespeople and truck owners. The line covers crossover and side-mount boxes, chest boxes, underbody boxes, transfer tanks and dog boxes. Every aluminum box is designed, fabricated and welded in Perry, Florida, with construction aimed at job-site abuse, road vibration and daily use.
UWS is a leading manufacturer and designer of truck tool boxes and truck accessories, and a Lippert brand. The company's focus is narrow and deliberate: storage that stands up to being opened and slammed shut dozens of times a day, loaded past what looks reasonable, and left outdoors in whatever weather the job brings. Its customers are electricians, plumbers, contractors, farmers, outdoorsmen and truck owners who treat a pickup as a working tool rather than transport.
The catalog covers the full range of bed storage. Crossover boxes sit across the bed behind the cab in single-lid, gull-wing, secure-lock and low-profile styles, so there is a fit whether the priority is capacity, rear visibility or working under a tonneau. Side-mount boxes mount along the bed rails and keep the bed floor free for cargo, while underbody boxes tuck beneath the frame rails of service bodies and flatbeds.
Beyond the bed, UWS makes portable chest boxes that move between vehicles and the shop, transfer tanks and combination tank-and-toolbox units for crews working away from fuel supply, and insulated, ventilated dog boxes for hunters and handlers.
Manufacturing sits at the centre of the brand's identity. Every UWS aluminum tool box is designed, fabricated and welded in Perry, Florida, by tradespeople with decades of experience, and the company's Rooted in Trades initiative is built around that connection to skilled manual work. Boxes use heavy-gauge aluminum, continuous welds at the seams, weather stripping to seal against rain and dust, and locking systems intended to resist tampering. The practical result is storage that keeps tools dry, organized and where they were left.

The kit includes the transfer tank, filler neck and cap, a 3/8" drain plug, and a key (supplied only with combo models). Hardware such as hex bolts, flat washers, lock washers and nuts are not included and must be purchased separately.
The tank is DOT-compliant for transporting Class 3 combustible fuels only, such as diesel. It is not approved for transportation of flammable fuels such as gasoline and should never be connected to a vehicle's fuel system or used as an auxiliary fuel tank. The tank is also not compatible with diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) or other corrosive materials.
Spacers may be required if any of the drilled mounting holes fall between the ribs on your truck bed floor. If this occurs, spacers must be placed between the truck bed floor and the mounting bracket for proper installation. Check this during Step 2 when aligning the drilled holes with the mounting brackets.
You will need a drill, 3/8" drill bit, ratchet, socket set, tape measure, and marker. Proper tools will improve the quality of installation and reduce the time required.
Hardware is not included with the tank. For each mounting hole, you will need one hex bolt, two flat washers, one lock washer, and one nut. The exact size and quantity depend on the number of mounting holes on your specific tank and truck bed configuration. Refer to the torque specifications table when selecting hardware: 1/4" bolts (3 ft-lbs.), 5/16" bolts (7 ft-lbs.), 3/8" bolts (16 ft-lbs.), 7/16" bolts (20 ft-lbs.), or 1/2" bolts (28 ft-lbs.).
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Consult your vehicle manufacturer's instructions or a qualified installer for guidance on this step.
Before drilling, check under your vehicle to ensure the drill location does not puncture, cut or obstruct any brake or fuel fluid lines, electrical wires, fuel tanks, or other components. Precaution must be taken that all fasteners near the fuel tank do not create the possibility of fuel tank puncture or other damage during a collision. This is a critical safety step.
Drill 3/8" holes in the truck bed floor at the locations marked by the mounting brackets. Use a 3/8" drill bit. After drilling, treat or seal all fasteners and exposed metal in any holes drilled in the vehicle to prevent corrosion.
No. Do not cut, weld or drill into the tank. Doing so could result in serious injury or death due to the danger of explosion.
Torque specifications are: 1/4" bolt (3 ft-lbs.), 5/16" bolt (7 ft-lbs.), 3/8" bolt (16 ft-lbs.), 7/16" bolt (20 ft-lbs.), 1/2" bolt (28 ft-lbs.). Metric equivalents are: M6 bolt (3 ft-lbs.), M8 bolt (7 ft-lbs.), M10 bolt (16 ft-lbs.), M12 bolt (28 ft-lbs.). These are general guidelines; if purchasing hardware, use the torque specifications provided with that hardware. Do not over-tighten the hardware.
Push the tank up to the truck cab and center it side-to-side. Make sure the tank is fully supported by the truck bed floor. Before securing to the bed, ensure the tank is level.
1. Push the tank to the truck cab and center it side-to-side, ensuring it is fully supported by the truck bed floor. 2. Use the mounting brackets as a guide to mark holes in the truck bed floor. 3. Remove the tank and drill 3/8" holes at the marked locations. 4. Place the tank back in the bed and align the drilled holes with the mounting brackets. 5. Ensure the tank is level. 6. Secure the mounting brackets to the truck bed with one hex bolt, two flat washers, one lock washer and one nut in each hole. Do not over-tighten. 7. Attach the filler neck and cap. 8. Ground the transfer tank and pump to avoid static charge.
For each mounting hole, use one hex bolt, two flat washers, one lock washer, and one nut. The bolt size depends on your hardware selection and should match the torque specifications provided. Do not over-tighten the hardware.
The transfer tank and pump must be grounded to avoid static charge. Static build-up can result in explosion. This is a critical safety requirement.
The tank must be vented at all times; remove the vent cap with caution. Do not pressurize the tank. Must use an automatic shut-off nozzle (not provided). Must use a fuel filter. Tank must be lifted only when empty. Tank is for private use only and is not intended to be used commercially. Tank must be securely bolted to the bed of the vehicle. Never exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended capacity.
Yes. This product can reduce the driver's ability to clearly see roadways, vehicular or pedestrian traffic and other objects through the rear and side windows of the vehicle, which may cause an accident. Extra precaution should be taken when driving a vehicle with this product.
Ensure all knobs, bolts, screws, straps and locks are firmly secured before every trip. Periodically re-tighten and inspect all components for signs of wear, corrosion and fatigue. With the transfer tank installed, periodic inspections should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight.
For polished, gloss and other smooth finishes, polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs on the finish. Mild automotive detergent may be used to clean the product. Do not use dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, wire brushes or other similar products that may damage the finish.
Treat or seal all fasteners and exposed metal in any holes drilled in the vehicle to prevent corrosion. This should be done after drilling the mounting holes in the truck bed.
The manual does not specify which vehicle models or bed lengths are compatible. Contact the manufacturer or your dealer for fitment information specific to your truck.
Hardware is not included. For each mounting hole you will need one hex bolt, two flat washers, one lock washer, and one nut. You will also need to purchase an automatic shut-off nozzle and a fuel filter.
Yes. You must drill 3/8" holes in the truck bed floor at locations marked by the mounting brackets. Before drilling, check under your vehicle to ensure you do not puncture brake lines, fuel lines, electrical wires or fuel tanks.
3/8" bolts should be torqued to 16 ft-lbs. This is a general guideline; if purchasing hardware, use the torque specifications provided with that hardware.
