Greetings... This is 'Pogi' and I am new to this site. I am finding your information useful. I would like to increase the fuel capacity of my Sunrader and I noticed that '88WIT' advised 'ShopRat' ... "to go with the 26 Gallon Tank". My question is: Where can I get the 26 Gal Tank? [ Transfer Flow will not sell me one. ] I also like the idea of putting a Tank where the spare Tyre is located. I am not concerned about weight because when I travel my water and 'Holding' Tanks are always empty... I need GAS... not water. Hope to read more about "Extra Fuel". "Pogi"

Shoprat;
If you're in California, go with the replacement 26 gallon. Footnote #9 (on the website)states the gravity feed is illegal in the state. You'd probably get popped at inspection time. I think a transfer feed is likewise verboten.
If elsewhere, knowltondata has a point. Just yesterday I glanced at the frame extension weld on the '86 Sunrader. It's not much of an overlap. You've got three or feet of distance from the bumper but it wouldn't take much to snap those welds and get the accordion effect. You could make a structural cage behind the tank.
The replacement 26-gal. has its own issues, like depth below the frame and running gear (it presents a nice square face to oncoming projectiles, and should have a skid plate) and fill tube routing (possibly four offsets to the Sunrader gas cap -- opportunity for pinching and chafing).
Many of us, I'm sure, thank you for the reference to the website for the replacement /
auxillary tanks, as the Transfer Flow source has effectively dried up. I'll certainly use it for my '88 Itasca soon.
Hasta la vista, twin Jerry cans,
