Re: Looking at Underbed Tanks / What Brand and Why

I too have the Boyds tank it is one of the original with the in-tank pump. I say original versions as I think he has done some more internal baffling. The fit and install is great and it looks super under there. I had an Blazer Poly tank and an external pump that all worked but I knew this would be better. It does look great and doesn't hang down.
Now for the bad on mine anyway. I dont have a ton of power by comparison of some but I am turbocharged so it is pretty decent when I would get on it hard anything under half a tank would run away from the pump and I would loose fuel. I chased this around for a while with some foam but ultimately changed pumps and added a fuel mat. They are not cheap but neither is blowing up my motor. This fixed my fueling problem. Like I said I believe the internals have been upgraded so you should be good. I could have understood under a quarter but half was a little extreme. I like to drive my truck and take trips and this was not good as I was always feeling the need to keep the truck "full".
It is a great tank but even better now.
Hope this helps.
