On the road fuel is always a top priority.
Being able to purchase at the best price and having it when
you need it are two of the most important pieces of that
priority. Being able to carry and store more fuel is key to any
long road trip but having and storing fuel is a tricky thing. The
two enemies of fuel in storage are condensation and corrosion.
Excessive water in your fuel may make it worthless, while rust
and corrosion form the inside of a tank will end up clogging
and destroying any fuel system. Both of these enemies are
contributing factors that led TITAN Fuel Tanks to the
development of their products.
TITAN manufactures extra-large capacity fuel tanks for diesel
trucks. The tanks are made of military grade, cross-linked
polymer. Although it’s more expensive than metal, the TITAN
polymer has many features and attributes that make the slightly
higher than metal price worth each and every penny. The
polymer does not rust or corrode, which enables long term
storage without fear of the tank or its’ finish breaking down.
The polymer is 415 times less heat and cold conductive than
aluminum, and 200 times less heat and cold conductive than steel.
Such an attribute greatly minimizes condensation, thus reducing
the risk of fuel being contaminated by water. Additionally,
TITAN builds their tanks to be very tough and rugged; their
manufacturing process means there are no welds or seams in the

tanks. The nature of the polymer, provide the tanks with built
in “flex”. That “flex” works as a defense if the tank is impacted.
The energy from the impact is spread over the entire structure
so it flexes and bends instead of splitting and breaking as metal
and linear plastic containers do.
While the construction and the materials of the TITAN fuel tank
ensures that your fuel remains pure and safe when it comes
down to needing it. From powering vehicles, generators and
equipment, to cooking and countless other necessities; therefore,
having fuel and plenty of it is a necessity. Again this is where
TITAN Fuel Tanks comes to the rescue. The company offers a
number of different types of high capacity fuel tanks and auxiliary
fuel systems.
For diesel trucks they offer a number of underbody, chassis
mounted tanks. Their extra-large mid-ship and after-axle tanks
replace a vehicle’s stock tank and provide as much as double
the capacity. This means being able to drive twice the distance
of the stock truck. They also offer an ingenious auxiliary fuel
storage system that fits in the spare tire well underneath the
truck. This Spare Tire Auxiliary Fuel System (STAFS)
adds an additional 30 gallons to whatever else the truck carries.
Combining a TITAN extra-large mid-ship tank and a STAFS
provides as much as 95 gallons of total fuel under the truck.
