Gents, I’m blasting this out to all the places I know and trust looking for feedback before I make my own decision. Saw this on Facebook from a brand and user I’ve never heard of but, it doesn’t mean none of you haven’t. I won’t bury the lead. Here’s the link: https://helivuedesign.com/products/2024-current-toyota-tacoma-auxiliary-fuel-tank-system-18-gallon I know many of us are waiting for Long Range America. I’m sure we all have questions. They’re taking Preorders but i didn’t see anything on potential shipping date. Anyone have any faith and confidence in this brand? What do you think of the price? Is an 18 gallon aux tank reasonable? Any clue what size LRA might build? Here’s the info from the site and photos: “Helivue Design offers a no compromises approach to auxiliary fuel systems for the demands of the Commuter or hard core Overlander. This tank has been thoroughly beat, bashed, landed on and driven from 5,000-13,000 feet regularly without failure. A Lightweight, High clearance, Aluminum 18 gallon auxiliary fuel system that allows you to KEEP your KDSS, Factory Air Ride and your Class 4 receiver hitch. This system is almost completely invisible as it tucks above the bumper line and keeps all factory evap systems in place. The Helivue Design auxiliary fuel tank fills up through your factory filler neck and will simultaneously fill both tanks at once. When you need to transfer fuel we include a high quality programmable Fuel transfer switch/fuel level gauge, quality fuel pump, and stainless steel fuel level sender. Kit includes everything you need to install including quality stainless steel clamps, stainless steel hardware and bung.” Details: Tank Type Auxiliary Weight Dry 25 Pounds Weight Wet 133 Capacity 18 Gallons Fill Point OEM Split Fuel Type Gas Relocate Spare Yes Recommended Install Time 5 hours
