You could drill the holes in the bed, but they would cut through the sides of a high/low ridge, making the use of spacers and washers impossible. The pre-drilled brackets would not align with either the high or low ribs of the floor pan. When positioning the tank in the bed, I could not find a location that centered the tank and allowed the tank brackets to be used. I ended up mounting my tank a little differently than everyone else would, and I wanted to show you what I did.
You may be able to simply rotate the handles or even modify them slightly to make everything work together. Take your own measurements and look closely at the hitch you are using. If you are looking for an in-bed tank, don't be discouraged if the one you want supposedly won't fit. This is because of the direction the handles turn when locking and un-locking from the pucks.

I can easily remove and install the hitch without fussing with the tank.Īs I said, my B&W slider hitch fits well with the tank, but a B&W Companion, non-slider, will not work with this tank. I have about 11" of clearance between my bed rails and the bottom of my trailer, so the tank height was no problem at all. I use a B&W slider hitch, and it fits with plenty of clearance at the locking handles, and only sits above the bed rails a couple of inches. What I had determined, that they did not know, was that only certain hitches work with this tank in a short bed. They were right, but they were also wrong! I decided to drive 14 hours, round trip, to Chico where they would place their template in the bed of my truck, while my hitch was installed, to see if it would work. When I tried to order the tank, Transfer Flow said it would not fit a short bed with the OEM 5th wheel prep group. I thought I would show everyone how I installed my Transfer Flow 50 gallon refueling tank in my 2021 SB, even though Transfer Flow said it would not fit my application.
