Description

A 200-gallon aluminum transfer fuel tank engineered for high-capacity diesel fueling on construction sites, farms, fleet yards, and industrial operations. Built from heavy-gauge no-rust aluminum with fully welded seams, the RDS73217 is designed for hard service and long-term reliability.

A top-mounted sight gauge gives a quick read on fuel level, and a reinforced 2 in. female NPT coupling is ready for a manual or 12V transfer pump. Built-in baffles reduce fuel movement during transport, a rollover vent valve helps prevent spills, and a 3/8 in. FTP drain plug allows clean, controlled emptying. The aluminum body prevents rust and protects fuel from contamination.

Set up as a transfer tank with a pump for dispensing diesel to equipment and vehicles, or used as an auxiliary tank to gravity-feed your truck's factory fuel system when paired with a diesel auxiliary install kit (sold separately). A lockable gas cap helps prevent unauthorized access, and heavy-duty 3/16 in. aluminum mounting brackets are for stable installation.

Pressure tested before shipping. DOT approved for highway diesel transport. Made in the USA. Backed by RDS Manufacturing's 1-year parts and labor warranty.

Note: Mill finish aluminum tanks are designed for durability and function rather than appearance. Light surface scratches from the manufacturing process are normal and do not affect performance.

Quality Assurance
Each tank is cleaned and pressure tested before shipping for leak-free performance.
