also, does anyone have a simple slick solution (besides replacement) for the brake pedal that sees extra duty during winter plowing. it is worn off a little, slippery when wet, not enough to warrent replacement.

I can't help you with the brake pedal but I did build an aux tank to go under my tool box. I built it the same size as the tool box with baffles inside and it will hold 37 gallons. I have around $150 invested and it works perfect. I have the fill spout inside the tool box and I use an aux tank fuel selector which is tapped into the vent line into the original tank. I will try to get some pics tomorrow. Oh yeah, it is made out of Aluminium.

I've always thought this 91 gal tank / tool box combo was a good value.

For a transfer tank only, I like their 100 gal rectangular tank.

Thats a pretty good price for the combo box/fuel tank considering just the aluminum box alone from weathergaurd that I am looking at is $630

brake pedal

don't know if this will work for ya, but when the "muddy season" comes up in our Rock Crawlers, a lot of my friends and I pull the rubber off the pedal and throw on some grip tape from the local skateboard shop. On some pedals the rubber will still fit right back on over the tape, so you don't have to peel it off each time the weather changes.
