You guys with enclosed trailers ever add a fuel station? If so where did you get the tank and pump from? I am looking at this kit from mirage trailers but it is quite expensive to ship it from their location to mine. Does anyone know of a place that makes a similar kit in the Socal area. Thanks

KSH tanks in Havasu may be able to do something like that. They make custom truck in bed tanks and storage boxes.

KSH can add it, I have 75 gallons in my trailer and a pump station, sure makes things easier, that and 100 gallons of water to transfer to the RV if need be.

Did you add the tank up under the frame rails?

Call Universal in Riverside. I know someone on Glamis Dunes recently had Universal add an on board fuel system to their trailer.

The biggest thing to look at is your frame hieght on the trailer. If possible, you want it tucked up there, so no pavement contact or dragging issues. There are lots of tanks available pretty reasonably. All the toy hauler mfg's use the same pump, hose and handle. Wire it up with a twist timer for the pump switch, so you don't accidentally leave the pump going.

Try to go as big as you can. Bigger = better. Mine is about 45gal and always have to bring extra gas for long trips.

Tommy @ Carson in Beaumont can set you up 951-776-1169.

I had a Universal enclose trailer built years ago with a 40 gallon water tank and hose bib for washing bikes at GP's . They mounted it over the axels . No way it will ever hit anything .

What kind of trailer do you have? What model? Please tell me, because this is very important. In general, if you are not sure, read about fuel on this site https://fuelson.com/ . I, unfortunately, didn't have a trailer, but I can ask my brother. He's had an old trailer for a few years, maybe he can help you. It seems to me that your fuel system is very expensive and can be found cheaper, but the quality will be worse, I can tell you for sure. Well, if you can afford expensive parts, then it is better to buy this thing, it is of higher quality. Good luck to you and good mood, if that I will write to you in private messages.

I just purchased an 83 gallon fresh water tank from INCA Plastics that I am in the process of mounting up underneath my trailer as we speak. I have also mounted a 12V water pump that is hooked up to a toggle switch to easily transfer water to my motorhome when I need to.

Also hoping to contact KSH in Havasu to add a 50 gallon fuel tank onto the tongue of my trailer. I am kinda sick of carrying gas cans.

My Universal has a 50 gallon tank and fuel station. You can see the little boxed in section in front of the jack stands that houses the hose, nozzle and switch.

We just picked up a used pace enclosed trailer yesterday and thinking about adding a fuel station. We had one in our sport enclosed trailer that was 50 gallons and it was great.

Anyone care to share what they spent on adding a fuel station professionally?

Maybe give these guy s a call, I am pretty sure @ONE-A-DAY recommended them in the past. They quoted me $1500-2000 to build a tank with to my specs mounted on the tongue of my trailer. During Covid, prices got a bit higher....


I ended up buying 2 of these 20 gallon fuel tanks from WURX with a rechargeable pump with 10' hose.

How are those rechargeable pumps any issues at all?
