2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma Auxiliary Fuel Tank System 18 Gallon
Description
The Helivue Design 18 Gallon Auxiliary Fuel Tank System is a no-compromises range extension solution built specifically for the 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma (2nd Gen). Designed, engineered, and manufactured in Colorado, USA, this system is purpose-built for both the daily commuter and the hardcore overlander who refuses to be limited by a single tank. The tank is constructed from thicker 1/8" 5052 aluminum with superior corrosion resistance and a hammer finish satin black powder coat that looks sharp and holds up in the harshest conditions.
The system integrates seamlessly with your Tacoma's factory filler neck, filling both tanks simultaneously so there's no extra step - just pull up to a pump and go. Tucking tightly above the bumper line, this auxiliary tank stays nearly invisible while maintaining high clearance and keeping all factory evap systems fully intact. Everything needed for installation is included in the kit, and the system has been proven at elevations from 5,000 to 13,000 feet without failure.
Key Features
- 18-Gallon Capacity: Dramatically extends your driving range - ideal for remote overlanding, long hauls, or off-grid adventures.
- 1/8" 5052 Aluminum Construction: Thicker-gauge aluminum alloy delivers superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability under real-world abuse.
- Hammer Finish Satin Black Powder Coat: Tough, rugged exterior finish that resists chips, scratches, and the elements while keeping a clean look.
- OEM Split Fill Point: Fills through your factory filler neck and simultaneously fills both the auxiliary and stock tank at once - no extra effort required.
- High-Clearance Design: Tucks above the bumper line so it stays nearly invisible and does not sacrifice ground clearance or approach angle.
- Factory Evap System Preserved: All factory evaporative emission systems remain fully in place - no emissions compliance concerns.
- Side-Corner Fuel Pickup: Allows you to "fill a friend" directly from the auxiliary tank when needed in the field.
- Reduced Leak Paths: Simplified design eliminates excess complexity and hosing, minimizing potential failure points.
- Programmable Fuel Transfer Switch & Gauge: Included high-quality transfer switch lets you monitor and manage fuel levels between tanks with precision.
- 100% Made in the USA: Designed, built, and tested in Colorado - engineered to handle real-world demands at altitude and off-road.
- Spare Tire Relocation: System requires and accommodates spare tire relocation.

Why You'll Love It
Helivue Design built this system for people who actually use their Tacoma to the fullest - weekend warriors, overlanders, and working truck owners who can't afford to run out of fuel miles from a gas station. This tank has been beaten, bashed, and landed on across thousands of miles of Colorado backcountry driving at extreme elevations, and it has never failed. The clean, above-bumper integration means you get a massive range boost without giving up the utility or look of your truck.
With everything included for a straightforward installation and a recommended install time of just 4 hours, this is a practical upgrade any mechanically inclined Tacoma owner can tackle. Trusted by commuters and serious overlanders alike, this is the kind of American-made quality that pays off every time you venture further than the fuel gauge says you should. If you rely on your Tacoma, this auxiliary fuel system is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make.

FAQ
Will this tank fit my 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma without modifications?
Yes - this system is designed specifically for the 2nd Gen Toyota Tacoma (2005-2015) and is engineered to integrate with your factory filler neck and evap system without major modifications. Note that spare tire relocation is required as part of the installation. The recommended install time is approximately 4 hours for a mechanically experienced installer.
Does this tank affect my factory evaporative emission system?
No. The Helivue Design auxiliary tank is specifically engineered to keep all factory evaporative emission systems fully intact. You do not need to modify or delete any OEM emissions components to install this system.
How does fueling work - do I need to fill both tanks separately?
No - one of the standout features of this system is that it fills through your factory filler neck and simultaneously fills both the auxiliary and the main tank at once. Just fill up as you normally would and both tanks receive fuel at the same time.
How do I transfer fuel from the auxiliary tank to the main tank?
The included programmable fuel transfer switch and fuel level gauge let you manage the transfer of fuel from the auxiliary tank to your main tank. The kit also includes a quality fuel pump and stainless steel fuel level sender to make monitoring and transferring fuel easy and reliable.
Will this system affect ground clearance or the appearance of my truck?
The tank is designed with a high-clearance profile that tucks above the bumper line, keeping it nearly invisible from the outside. Your ground clearance and approach angle are preserved, and the satin black powder coat finish blends naturally with most Tacoma setups.
Is this system legal to use on public roads?
The system preserves all factory evap and emissions components, which supports road legality. However, regulations can vary by state or region. We recommend checking your local emissions and fuel system regulations before installing any auxiliary fuel system on a road-registered vehicle.
