Coming Soon! 2019-Current Ford Ranger Auxiliary Fuel Tank System 18 Gallon
Description
The Helivue Design 18-Gallon Auxiliary Fuel Tank System is a purpose-built range extender for the 5th Gen Ford Ranger (2019-Current), engineered without compromise for both daily commuters and hardcore overlanders. Constructed from thicker 1/8" 5052 aluminum, this tank is built to resist corrosion and take real-world punishment - having been tested and driven from 5,000 to 13,000 feet of elevation regularly without failure. The system tucks neatly above the bumper line, keeping a near-invisible profile while preserving all factory evaporative emissions systems.
Filling is as simple as it gets: fuel up through your factory filler neck and both tanks fill simultaneously - no extra steps, no complicated switching. When it's time to transfer fuel to the main tank, the included programmable fuel transfer switch, fuel level gauge, and quality fuel pump make the process seamless. Designed, built, and tested entirely in Colorado, USA, this is a professional-grade solution for anyone serious about extending their range off the beaten path.
Key Features
- 18-Gallon Capacity: Adds 18 gallons of auxiliary fuel capacity, significantly extending your driving range on long hauls or remote expeditions.
- 1/8" 5052 Aluminum Construction: Thicker-gauge aluminum with superior corrosion resistance - built to handle impacts, rough terrain, and harsh conditions.
- OEM Split Fill Point: Fills through your factory filler neck and simultaneously fills both tanks at once - no extra filler caps or complicated procedures.
- Sloped Tank Bottom: Angled floor allows access to the residual 2.5 gallons of fuel, so you're never leaving usable range behind.
- Side-Corner Fuel Pickup: Dedicated side-corner fuel pickup enables you to transfer fuel to another vehicle ("filling a friend") when needed in the field.
- High-Clearance, Low-Profile Design: Tucks above the bumper line for maximum ground clearance while remaining nearly invisible from outside the vehicle.
- Reduced Leak Paths: Simplified design eliminates unnecessary hose complexity, reducing potential leak points for greater reliability.
- Programmable Fuel Transfer System: Includes a programmable fuel transfer switch, fuel level gauge, quality fuel pump, and stainless steel fuel level sender for precise, convenient transfers.
- 25 lb. Weight: Lightweight aluminum construction keeps added weight minimal even at full system capacity.
- 100% Made in the USA: Designed, manufactured, and tested in Colorado - built to the highest standards for real-world off-road and overland use.
- Factory Evap System Compatibility: Keeps all factory evaporative emissions systems fully intact - no cutting corners on compliance or emissions.

Why You'll Love It
Helivue Design has built a reputation among overlanders and off-road enthusiasts for producing auxiliary fuel systems that don't make you choose between capability, clearance, and reliability. This system has been thoroughly beaten, bashed, and tested across Colorado's high-altitude terrain - so you can be confident it's ready for whatever you put it through. The near-invisible installation keeps your Ranger looking stock from the outside, while dramatically extending how far you can go before needing a gas station. Everything needed for installation is included right in the box, with a recommended install time of just 5 hours. Built entirely in the USA from premium materials, this is the kind of upgrade that pays dividends on every long-distance drive, remote campsite run, or overland expedition you take on.

FAQ
Will this tank fit my 2019-2024 Ford Ranger without any cutting or major modifications?
Yes - the Helivue Design auxiliary fuel tank is engineered specifically for the 5th Gen Ford Ranger (2019-Current) and is designed to tuck above the bumper line using existing mounting points. All factory evaporative emissions systems remain in place, and no major cutting or fabrication is required. The kit includes all necessary hardware for a complete installation.
How does the fuel filling process work? Do I need to switch between tanks manually?
No manual switching is needed when filling up. The system uses an OEM split fill point, meaning fuel enters through your factory filler neck and simultaneously fills both your factory tank and the auxiliary tank at the same time. When you want to transfer fuel from the auxiliary tank to the main tank while driving, you use the included programmable fuel transfer switch and fuel pump.
How much driving range does an 18-gallon auxiliary tank add to a Ford Ranger?
The added range depends on your driving style and conditions, but the Ford Ranger averages roughly 20-25 MPG. An 18-gallon auxiliary tank can add approximately 360-450 miles of additional range - making it ideal for overlanding, long highway drives, or operating in remote areas far from fuel stations.
Does installing this auxiliary tank require a spare tire relocation?
Yes - per the product specifications, a spare tire relocation is required as part of this installation. The kit is noted to include this as part of the system setup. If you have questions about your specific configuration, feel free to reach out to us at service@omahasportsandgames.com.
Is this product legal for use on public roads?
The Helivue Design system is designed to keep all factory evaporative emissions systems fully intact, which is an important compliance consideration. However, auxiliary fuel tank regulations can vary by state and country. We recommend checking your local regulations before installing any aftermarket fuel system on a street-driven vehicle.
Can I use this tank to transfer fuel to another vehicle?
Yes - the tank features a dedicated side-corner fuel pickup specifically designed to allow you to transfer fuel to another vehicle when needed. This "filling a friend" capability is a standout feature for overlanders and off-road groups traveling together in remote areas.
