Is the tank not being DoT approved an issue if you are ever in a rear end collision?

From Their Site:

Front Runner auxiliary fuel tanks are manufactured from 3CR12 stainless steel and designed for specific vehicles ensuring a perfect fit and unbeatable strength.

All Front Runner auxiliary fuel tanks are individually inspected, pulse pressure tested and sprayed with a resilient black anti stone chip coating.

All Front Runner auxiliary fuel tanks come standard with all required hoses, transfer pump, dual filler neck and hardware for a no hassle worry free installation.

FWIW: Fernando, the owner of Camping Lab, is a stand up guy. I've purchased products from him/Camping Lab and will again without reservation.


FWIW: I have a 25-gallon custom made aux tank on my Hundy. Normally it along with the OEM 25-gallon tank, for 50-gallons total, have been plenty o'fuel. However on a recent off-road explore trip in Nevada we did have to go into Tonopah for a refuel! 300+ miles off-road, locked much of the time and pulling a trailer does diminish fuel a little faster .

If you travel fair distances between available fuel get the larger tank...you don't have to fill it all the time!
