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 white 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 is 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.
No. The tank is for private use only and is not intended to be used commercially.
Periodically re-tighten and inspect all mounting hardware, knobs, bolts, screws, straps and locks for signs of wear, corrosion and fatigue before every trip. For polished, gloss and other smooth finishes, polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs. Clean the product with mild automotive detergent only. Do not use dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, wire brushes or other similar products that may damage the finish.
The manual does not specify which vehicle makes, models, years or bed lengths are compatible with this tank. Contact the manufacturer at 877.287.8634 or consult your dealer to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle before purchasing.
No. The manual explicitly states that the product must not interfere with factory-installed safety equipment. During installation, you must 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.
You will need a drill, 3/8" drill bit, ratchet, socket set, tape measure and marker. Hardware (hex bolts, flat washers, lock washers and nuts) must be purchased separately.
For each mounting hole, you will need one hex bolt, two flat washers, one lock washer and one nut. Hardware is not included with the tank and must be purchased separately. If any holes fall between the ribs on the truck bed floor, spacers will also be required between the floor and mounting bracket.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. However, the manual does require that the transfer tank and pump be grounded to avoid static charge, which can result in explosion. Consult your dealer or the manufacturer at 877.287.8634 for grounding procedures.
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. Use the mounting brackets as a guide to mark the hole locations.
Drill 3/8" holes in the marked locations on the truck bed floor. 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. 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.
The manual provides general torque guidelines based on bolt size: 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. For metric bolts: M6 = 3 ft-lbs, M8 = 7 ft-lbs, M10 = 16 ft-lbs, M12 = 28 ft-lbs. If purchasing hardware, use the torque specifications provided with that hardware, as these are general guidelines only. Do not over-tighten the hardware.
The manual requires that the transfer tank and pump be grounded to avoid static charge, which can result in explosion.

Before every trip, ensure all knobs, bolts, screws, straps and locks are firmly secured. 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.
Before securing the tank to the truck bed, ensure the tank is level. Then secure the mounting brackets to the truck bed with a hex bolt, two flat washers, one lock washer and one nut in each hole.
