    prices on the 40 near cali is crazy. Until you start getting closer to NM is when it starts to go down.


    His best bet is to move batteries under the catwalk and order bigger tanks.

    Would it be easier / possible to remove the DEF tank and relocate it and go with a bigger fuel tank?

    The ones I've seen just mount a standard tank in saddles anchored to the frame behind the sleeper. Those are already certified as fuel tanks and it's easy enough to rig up the lines and valves to gravity feed your main tanks. Or do like a lot of the pickup guys and use an electric fuel pump for transfer.
